He had placed the muzzle of the weapon in his mouth, UNHAPPINESS DISPELLED. Men and Women Unanimous About It. Many women weep and wail and refuse to be comforted because their once mag nificent tresses have become thin and faded. Many men incline to profanity because the flies bite through the thin thatch on their craniums. It will be good news to the miserable of both sexes, to learn that Newbro’s Herpicide has been placed upon the market. This is the new scalp germicide and antiseptic that acts by destroying the germ or microbe that is the underlying cause, of all hair de struction.
