CURING BALDNESS
Subject Neglected by Doctors “Baldness is a subject which has been vastly neglected by the medical profession,’'' remarked Dr. J. H. F. Davies, of. Hove, in an address at the annual conference at Brighton of the Incorporated Guild of Hairdressers, Wigmakers, and Perfumers. , , , , , . Dr. Davies emphatically declared that physical treatment for baldness, such as vibration, 'high frequency, and ultra-violet light, was useless apart from the encourairing psychological effects upon the patient who felt very bucked that something was being done. The medical profession were prone to neglect . matters which were not a concern of life and death, and what little knowledge they did have of baldness had been hopelessly obscured by a great mass of traditional opinion, superstition, and quackery. The Mayor Of Brighton, Councillor, H. W. Aldrich, amused the delegates by declaring: “Brighton has a wonderful expanse of shingle and a magnificent Permanent wave, and if any. of you step oft the pavement in the wrong direction at the Aquarium he will have the closest shave of his life.”
