Newbro's Herpicide Restores Hair Quickly in 20 Days
A Maryland man reports baldness reversed after using Newbro's Herpicide starting April 6 1899. Within 20 days hair grew over his scalp and by July 2 he notes thick luxuriant growth. The remedy claims to destroy the germ causing dandruff and baldness, with samples available for 10 cents and sold by leading druggists. Another testimonial touts Dr King’s New Life Pills for biliousness and constipation with a money back guarantee.
