FALLING HAIR.
The following ore tlie main causes for thinning of the hair, premature greyness, and baldness: — i. Local causes, which interfere with the nutrition of the hair, such as inflammation of the skin and oil glands, of which seborrheica, a form of dandruff, which is responsible for great irritation of the scalp, is most common. 2. General causes, which lead to debility of constitution, and so indirectly weaken the nutrition of the hair, convalescence after fever or various other illnesses, and prolonged worry. IS. Purely nervous causes.' The special implication of the nerves is evidenced in various ways, such as neuralgic pains of tlie scalp, from which loss of hair is both local and very often absolute. The remedy is a special course of treatment (one guinea), including clipping and singeing, massage with scalp food, shampooing, massage with stimulating lotion, and vibro or electrical massage.
