My composition, however, is not a "hair restorer." As a great many of my readers may know, and some of them to their sorrow, all so-called hair restorers on the market are failures--although perhaps not so to the manufacturer or clever salesman. My composition will prevent the hair tissues from degeneration. Thus baldness, which might otherwise have occurred in a larger or smaller degree, may be prevented. In the case of the disability of the skin to retain the hair, which may occur after forms of febrile disease, such as typhoid fever, or if children show little promise of growing nice hair, the composition will prove very useful in combination with Dech-Manna Composition No. XII, Eubiogen, which restores the original strength of the whole body, while hair regenerated by the blood through capillogen has a better chance of growing and remaining in the regenerated soil. (d). _Dose_: One gram or one-fourth of a heaping teaspoonful, or one tablet in a little water or milk, once a day. It is imperative to follow directions implicitly. DECH-MANNA COMPOSITION No. IX. DERMOGEN (SKIN CELL PRODUCER). (a). The skin, like all other tissues of the body, is made up of different constituent elements. While its disease appears on the outside, it is built up, like all other parts of the human organism, from within and through the blood only. The elements necessary for regenerating the skin and keeping it in a healthy condition must, therefore, also be supplied to the body from within, in the form of nutriment, as otherwise, though we might suppress and eliminate the symptoms, the disease would still remain. (b). Dermogen, skin producer, contains all the constituent elements which a healthy skin tissue requires. (c). The skin, being exposed to all external influences, discloses the symptoms of all forms of skin disease, the names of which are legion. The skin specialist termed "dermatologist" is another production which flourishes--more or less--upon the ignorance of the public. The patient, alas, is less fortunate. He tries one after another until disgusted he sometimes resorts to special diet. Sometimes this may help, if he choose a certain kind of vegetable diet, and especially if the vegetables are such as contain a great deal of silica; for silica is the mineral basis of skin tissue. Full details of this are to be found in my analysis of foodstuffs given in the chart at the end of volume No. I of my work, "Regeneration." (d). _Dose_: One gram or one-fourth of a heaping teaspoonful of dermogen in a little water or milk once a day until regeneration of the skin is fairly started. Reduce the dose gradually until complete recovery has been accomplished. DECH-MANNA COMPOSITION No. X. GELATINOGEN (GELATIGENOUS TISSUE PRODUCER).
