ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP
Many Explanations of Badness Have
Been Advanced. The Most Cor
rect Is That of Microbes.


Been Advanced. The Most Cor
rect is That of Microbes.
The term ''microbe" refers to q para
site plant or fungi also called bacteria.
A microbe is 80 small that it can only be
detected by the aid of q microscope.
Some microbes are harmless, while
others produce various diseases, and
derive their titles through the form Of
their growth or because Of the diseases
they create. which diseases are infecti-
GUS or contagious.
Pro. Unna of Hamburg, Germany,
and DR.. Ssbourand, the leading derma-
tologist of France, discovered that mi
crobe caused badness, and their theory
has time and again been amply verified
through research experiments carried on
through the observation Of eminent
scientists. This microbe lodges in the
Sebum, which is the natural hair oil, and
if permitted to flourish, it destroys the
hair follicles. and in time the pores en-
tirely close and the scalp gradually takes
on shiny appearance. When this hap
pens there is no hope of the hair growth
being revived.
Dandruff is contagious disease which
q microbe causes, and later produces
itching scalp. falling hair and badness.
Dsndruff is caused by the microbe
diseasing the sebaceous matter. which
dries up and scales off. Sometimes the
cuticle surrounding the hair allows the
natural oil of the hair to force its way
between the flakes of scarf skin direct
to the hair, and the microbe being be-
tween the flakes force them apart and
they scale of as dandruf.
We have q remedy which positively
will remove dandruff. exterminate the
microbe, promote good circulation in
the scalp, tighten and revitalize the hair
roots, grow hair and cure badness. We
back up this statement on our own per-
sonsl guarantee that this remedy, which
is called Rexall '93" Hair Tonic, will be
supplied free of all cost to the user il it
fails to do as We promise. It will also
restore gray and faded hair to it's origin
al rich. glossy color, if loss of color has
been caused by disease, yet it is in no
sense q dye. kexall '93" Hair Tonic
sccomplishes these results by making
every hair root, follicle and pigment
gland strong and active, and by stimulst-
ing q natural flow of coloring pigment
into the hair cells.
Rexall ''93" Hair Tonic is entirely free
from grease or sediment, is exceedingly
pleasant to use. and will not gum the
hair or soil the clothing or pillows.
We want everyone troubled with hair
or scalp ailments, even though they are
