Show Hair Turns White in a Night. That hair ever turns white in a sin--gle night has been emphatically denied de-nied by some doctors, in spite of historic his-toric instances such as that of Marie Antoinette to the contrary. But Doctor Doc-tor Lebar called the attention of the Societe Medicale des Hopitaux of Paris to an actual case. It was that of a young French soldier who was blown into the air by a mine and buried in the earth, from which ha extricated himself with difficulty. The man was deafened by the detonation, deto-nation, his face was burned, and there were several bruises on his head. He was taken to a neighboring hospital, where the following day he noticed four islets of white hair on the fronto-parieto-occipital region of his head. The loss of color was complete from the roots to the ends of the hairs, and the white hairs were as firmly in his scalp as their brown neighbors. |
