I Microbes
in the Scalp
The Latest Explanation h
that Microbes Cause
Baldness
Proicsor I Una of Hamburg,
Germany, and Dr. Snbourand, <?!
Pari?, I mm e, slum- i he honor ?d
having discovered the hair microbe.
Baldness is nol caused through
a few weeks' work of t liest? hair
microbes, bul is the rcsnll of con
ditions brought about by their
presence. Baldness may not oc
cur until years aller tho microbes
began \\<>iL, but it is certain to
come sooner or later.
The microbes cut off Ihc blood
supply. They food on lite fatly
matter about tho runts of the hair,
through which tho blood is ab
sorbed. Finally the fatty matter is
consumed, the food supply of the
hair is gone ami it starves and
finally dies.
Rcsorcin is one of the most ef
fective germ destroyers over dis
covered, Mela Naphthol is a most
powerful, yet absolutely safe ger
micide and antiseptic, which pre
vents development of germ mat
ter, and creates a clean, healthy
condition.
Pilocarpine, although not a color
ing* matter or dye. is an ingredient
well established for its power to
restore natural color to human hair
when loSS of color has been CUllscd
by it disease.
Borax, because of its well-defined
softening an'! c Ion rising properties,
is most useful in 1 ho treatment of
scalp and hair disease.;. OlycoHno
acts a> a stimulant to the hair
bulbs, and has a soothing, healing
nn ! nourishing inllucnce. Alcohol

We want every one who has
scalp or hair trouble to try Ucxall
"93" Hair Tonic, which contains
all I hose ingredients. If it does not
glvo you complete satisfaction in
every particular, we will ret ei n
every penny you paid us for it,

when we say that Ilcxall "03" Hair

Following nre some expressions, lo
gin ding tin- resignation of .Mr. s. B.
Itc>ii?>v w'io lias been editor of Tho
Advertiser for tho past two years:
Mr S. 10. Honey:
Dear Sir; I Bee in this week's Ad
vertiser Hie announcement of the fact
that you are to leave LuiU'CltS.
Voti bavo made a good paper an I
I feel that I < xpress the thought of a
good many when 1 say your going will
he a distinct loss to the county. I had
heard my brother, Prof. Clus \V. Cun
ningham and cousin. Dr. A. P.. L?ng
sten speak of you often and win there
fore not surprised when yon 'make
good" in their home town.
We all regret your going hut of
course are glad a wider field is open
to you. .May you reach the top of your
profession!
Mr Wofford joins me in good wish
es for success in your new home.
Very sincerely.
Cleo Cunningham Wofford.
Hditor The Advertiser:
I want to say that 1 have heard with
since:- regret of the resignation of
Mr. Honey.
Mr. Honey came into this community
a perfect stranger. His editorial work
has been brilliant and able and. best of
all. it has toned to progress and for the
good of Laurens.
The standard of your paper has al
ways been high and 1 know it will
continue to be, but 1 feel that I voice
the sentiment of our entire people
when I say that we are loath to give
up Mr. Honey.
I presume that the position accepted
by Mr. Honey on The News & Courier,
is regarded by newspaper men as a
promotion and 1 suppose it would be
in order to congratulate him; hut I
am not at all sure that any position is
higher or more to be envied than that
of Hie eonsi icntiotis, hard-working,
self-sacrificing, able country editor, lie
wields a tremendous power for good
and there is no estimating his Influ
ence.
Compnrltlvely few of our people
have access to the daily paper hut by
the thousands, around the lire-side, in
the bumble home, the county weekly
is read, every word in it and its in
llucnco upon old and young is beyond
computation.
By the way what would the daily
papers do without the editor of The
Advertiser to draw rrom?
Gnrlington, Pall, Boney?a splendid
trio that.
I can assure Mr. Honey that tho
very best wishes of his Lauren-; friends
go with him to his new Held.
And by tin- way. Laurens furnished
the daily papers another brilliant edi
tor. Col. .lainos A. Iloyt, who was rear
ed here and who handed down to
lames A., the younger, his ability and
brilliancy, the now-odltor of tno Co
lumbia Daily Record.
So the dailys have not only drawn
upon The Advertiser but upon the com
munity. And Laurens still boasts of
having the votoran-lu-cblof of tho
weekly papers in the state, the beloved
Col. Thomas B. Crews, the man who
knows the Ins and o.its of the weekly
newspaper business as perhaps does
no other man in South Carolina, Of
fice "Devil ", typo, publisher and editor.
