GROWS HAIR ON
ON Ball Us.
BALD HEADED PEOPLE MAY GER.
ANEW CHANG IN LIFE.

. + &.
In aese days when youth Is the
moving factor in business; when a
man makes ais mark at thirty fye
and is ready to retire at forty-Rve,
when business houses pension the man
we call middle aged rather than al
low hiS tagging influence to intrude
upon the commercial rush, BALI
head Is almost fatal to any mans
hopes. The following must therefore
prove interesting to people who are
losing their nafr or who are bald.
Resorcin is one OF the latest and
most effective germ killers discovered
by science, and in Connection with Beta
NapthOl, which is both germicldal
and antIseptic, combination is form
ed which destroys the germs which
rob the hair of its nutrimtnt, and also
creates a clean and healthy condition
of the scalp, which prevents the de-
veIopment of new germs.
Ptfocarpfn is well known agent for
restoring tae hair to Its natural color,
where teh less of color has been due
to disease of the scalp. Yet, it is
not colortng matter or dye.
This combination of curatives mixel
with alcohol as stmulant perrects
the most effective remedy for hair ami
scalp troubles.
The famous Rexall 1913" Hair Ton.
ic is chiefly composed VT Resorcfn.
Beta Naptnol and PiiocarDin. It makes
the scalp healthy, noarlshes the hair
stimulates the follicles. Where the
head IS already bare, it enters the
fol!lcles, revitalizes the roots, sup
plies nourishment and stimulates a
new growth.
We want you to try a few bottles
of Re&all "9S" Hair Tonic, on our
personal guarantee that the trial will
nsf cost you a penny II it does not
give you absolute satisfaction. That's
proof of our faith in this remedy and
1t should indisputaBly demonstrate
that we know what we are talking
about when we say that Rexall "9SH
Hair Tonic will grow hair on bald
heads. except of course, where bald.
ness has been of such long duration
that the roots of the hair are entirely
deod, the follicles closed and grown
over and the scalp IS glazed.
