Baldness and falling hair are caused by the lack of proper nourishment of the hair roots. This lack of nourishment is due to the absence of blood in the scalpy—an ab- normal condition. It is the blood which feeds the hair roots, as well as every other part of the body. If you want the hair to grow on the scalp the blood must be made to circulate there. It is exercise which makes the blood circulate. Lack of exer- cise make. it stagnant. The Vacuum method provides the exercise which makes the blood circulate in the scalp. It gently draws the rich blood to the scalp and feeds the shrunken hair roots, This causes the hair to grow.
