There is new hope of the bald in a process invented by Dr. Raymond Passot. It consists of scientific scalping. Dr. Passot advocated that the sections of the scalp which practically never loses their hair- at the temples and above the nape of the neck should be transferred to the denuded wastes .above. The operation is said to be painless, thanks to the use of local anaesthetics. The patient remains indoors until his bandaged bead has healed and the displaced hair cultures have taken root and grown long enough to mask the mutilated areas which have been sacrificed lower down. Then the former sufferer from baldness, it is stated, finds himself the possessor of a head of hair which, if thin, is at any rate adequate.
