A Hint to Bald-Headed People.
Frederick Kemp writes from the silver mines of Montana to the Herald of Health, giving the following hint in reference to a cure for his bald-headedness:— “A friend of mine, who had the misfortune to be bald-headed, knowing that there is a wonderful invigorating power in the sun's rays, last spring threw away his hat, and worked in the gulch all spring, summer, and fall, bare-headed, and also for the first few days at mid-day. For a few days the rays of the hot sun on his head were almost unendurable (we think the dangerous point in the experiment is just here), after that time he experienced no uneasiness whatever. The result was that in the fall he had a good head of hair. And in this experiment he was not alone: several of his acquaintances, who were bald-headed, having followed the same plan, they were all fortunate enough to experience the same result.” The editor adds that a similar case once came under his observation, and professes to have no doubt “the exposure of the skin to the air and sunshine, under proper circumstances, stimulates it to a healthy action, and with it those glands upon which the growth of the hair depends.”
