Ninety-eight per cent of the people in Montgomery need a hair tonic. Don't take our word for 1t. but make test for yourself--a test that you can see and understand. Pull a hair from your head. If the bulb is white and shrunken the hair is diseased: if the bulb Is pink and full, It's healthy. Even if you have the most luxuriant head of hair you must want to know whether 1t is in an unhealthy condition or not Don't wait until 1t begins to fall out or turn gray before you heed the warning that a white bulb gives--if the bulb Is white the hair needs nourishment at once. Rexail "95" Hair Tonic was designed to destroy the germs that cause the ahrunken bulbs; 1t not only does this but it tones up the sebaceous glands and gives the hair a gloss that has never been eqtfAlled. It controls dan- drufS. and keeps the hair bright and clean.
 In buying Rexali "93" Hair Tonic you take no chances. If, after a trial you are not more than satisfied, I will cheerfully refund you the fifty cents you pay for bottle.
