Sebum forms at the rootsof the hair.

Its natural function is to lubricate the hair. But Sebum cakes on the scalp. It forms a breeding place for bacteria. It clings to hair and destroys it. It lodges in hair follicles and plugs them.

Then germs by the millions start to feed upon the hair. Loss of hair soon is marked. Then with neglect comes total baldness. You can see this Sebum on your scalp, in the form of an oil. Or, when accumulated and dried with other ingredients, as dandruff.

But it does not kill the hair roots. Hence when you remove it new hair has a chance to grow. This is a scientific fact medical authorities will tell you so. You must remove the Infected Sebum. I Every few hours swallow slowly a quarter teaspoon ful of Vicks.
