With the tips of the fingers the scalp may be rubbed and moved about, loosening tissues and causing an increased flow of blood. Most promoters of hair tonics suggest that the tonic be rubbed thorughly into the scalp in the hope that the rubbing will help the circulation, Some of these tonics also contain irritant substances which increase the flow of blood because of the slight inflammation, Heat, causing increased flow of blood to the part of the body that is heated, may be applied by hot towels, bv the use of infra-red lamps or by the use of the ultraviolet rays produced through a carbon arc or a mercury vapor quartz

light. With the ultra-violet rays, the skin may be tanned or slightly

burned, increasing circulation. ” » ”

HERE is not the slightest evidence, however, that increased circulation will restore life to dead hair cells. There is no certain evidence that this system of hair growth restores hair to a scalp when the scalp has that shiny appearance indicating that the cells are no longer capable of producing hair. One machine for growing hair on bald heads produces an alternating vacuum to encourage circulation of blood in the scalp and thus cause the growth of hair. The alternating vacuum has been used on the legs when circulation was bad and the tissues felt cold. Careful tests of this new apparatus showed that it failed in every instance to grow hair on bald heads. All bald-headed men are credu-
