    Some say that such conditions of transitory hairfall, usually ascribed to passing conditions of lowered health, are in reality due to seborrhœa. If such local infection is the direct cause, then the lowered vitality occasioned by illness of even brief duration may be the real cause, permitting as it does, an aggravation of the seborrhœa.
