head of the great AItenheim Medical
Dispensary has just made the startling
announcement that he has produced
compound that grows hair on any bald
head. The doctor makes the claim that
after experiments, taking years to COM
plete he has at last reached the goal
of his ambition. To the doctor all heads
are alike. There are none which can
not be cured by this remarka Bile rem
edy. The record of the cures already
made is truly marvellous and were it
not for the high standing of the great
physician and the convincing testimony
of thousands of citizens all over the
country it would seem too miraculous to
be true.
There can be no doubt of the doctors
earnestness in making his claims, nor
can his cures be disputed. He does not
ask any man, woman or child to take
his or anyone elses word for it, but he
stands ready and willing to send free
trial packages of this great hair re-
storative to anyone who writes to him
for it, enclosing a 2-cent stamp to pre-
pay postage. In single night it has
started hair to growing on heads bald
for years. It has stopped falling hair
in one hour. 1t never fails, no matter
what the condition, age or sex. Old men
and young men, women and children
all have profited by the free use OF this
great new discovery. If you are bald,
if your hair is falling out, or If your
hair. eyebrows or eyelashes are thin or
short, write the Altenheim Medical Dis
Ohio, enclosing a 2-cent stamp to pre-
pay postage for a free package and in
a short time you viii be entirely re-
stored.
