Renton,a Hair GroWer.

All who are bald, all who are becoming
bald, all who do not want to be bald, al
who are troubled with dandruf, or itching
of the scalp, should use Benton's Hair
Grower. Eighty per cent of those using
it have grown hair. It never fails TO stop
the hair from falling. Through sickness
and fevers the hair sometimes falls off in
q short time, and although the person may
have renamed bald for years, if you use
Benton's Hair Grower according to direc-
lions you are sure of growth of hair. In
hundreds of cases We have produced a
good growth of hair on those Who have
been bald and glazed for years. We-have
fully substantiated the following facts:
We grow hair in every case no matter
how long bald.
Unlike other preparations, it contains
no sugar of lead. or vegetable or
mineral poisons.
It is 8 specific for falling hair, dandruff
and itching of the scalp.
The Hair Grower IS a hair food. and its
competition is almost exactly like
the oil which supplies The hair with
its vitality.
If your druggists have not got 1t we will
send it prepaid on receipt OF price.
