Show Dyspepsia and ltaldness. Dyspepsia is one of the most common causes of baldness. Nature is a great economizer, aud when tlie nutrient elements ele-ments furnished by the blood are tnsuf-flrivut tnsuf-flrivut to properly support tlie whole body, she cuts olf the supply to parts the least vitui.iike the hair and nails, that the heart, lungs and other vital organs niuy lie the better nourished. In cases of severe fevers, this economy is particularly noticeable. A single hair is a sort of history of the physical physi-cal condition of an individual during the time it has been growing, if one could read closely enough. Take a hair from tlie beard or from the bead and scrutinize it, and you will see that it shows some attenuated at-tenuated places, indicating that at some period of ita growth the blood supply woa iiein-ieiiL uu' "iinijrR uuAici.y, ur uuuur feeding. " " The hair falls out when the strength of its roots is insufficient to sustain its weight any longer, and a new hair will take its place unless the root i.t diseased. For this reason each person has a certain definite length of hair. When the hair begins to split or fall out, massage to the scalp is excellent. I'lace the tip of the flngen firmly upon the scalp and then vibrato or move the scalp while holding the pressure steadily. This will stimulate the blood vessels underneath and bring about better nourishment of tho hair. A brush of unevenly un-evenly tufted br'stles ia also excellent to use upon the scalp, not the hair.
