How the Evil One Came to be Popularly Known as "The Old Scratch"

One of the many familiar names of his satanic majesty is "The Old Scratch." It is undoubtedly due to the fact that scratching is so disagreeable that people thought it no worse than the evil one.

A scalp full of dandruff keeps one scratching all the time: not only disagreeable but considered very inelegant in polite society — as it should be — because one ought to keep the scalp so clean that it would not itch.

To cure the scalp of dandruff effectively, use Newbro's Herpicide. It kills the germs that creates the dandruff, which is preliminary to falling hair, and finally baldness. No other hair preparation kills the dandruff germ. Herpicide also is a very delightful and effective hair dressing.
