SKin Heads

Woods Point 20th October 1865. What is causing all the men at Woods Point to go bald? It is quite remarkable and is causing widespread comment that old hands at The Point seem to lose their hair with greater rapidity than men of similar age on other goldfields.
It is becoming easier now to pick an old hand from a new chum here by the state of his pate. No one can explain the mystery.""

Wonder if they ever discovered why?????
