Microbes in the Scalp
The Latest Explanation is That Mi
crobes Cause Badness.


Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger.
many, and DR.. Sabourand of Paris.
France, share the honor Of having dis.
covered the hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through a
few weeks work of these hair mi
brought about by their presence. Bald
ness may not occur. until years after
the microbes began work, but it is GER
tain to come sooner or later.
The microbes cut off the blood sup
ply. They feed on the fatty matter
about the root of the hair. through
which the blood is absorbed. Finally
the fatty matter is wholly consumed,
the food supply of the hair is gone,
and it starves and finally dies.
Resorcin is one of the most effective
germ destroyers; Beta Napthol is both
germicidal and antiseptic; Pilocarpin
though not a dye, restores natural col
or to hair when loss of color was
caused by disease. These curatives
properly mixed with alcohol as a slim
ulant, perfect remedy unequalled for
curing scalp and hair troubles.
We want everyone who has any scalp
or hair trouble to try Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic. which contains all these ingred
tents. If it does not grow hair on your
bald head, stop your hair from falling
out; cure you of dandruff; make your
hair thick, silky, luxuriant; if 1t does
not give you complete satisfaction in
every particular, return the empty bot
tie to us, and we shall return every
penny you paid us for it, without ques
| ton or formality.
! OF course, you understand that when
we say Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will
grow hair on bald heads, we do moi
refer to cases where the roots are en-
tirely dead, the pores of the scalr
/ closed, and the head has the shiny ap
pearance of billiard ball. In cases
like this, there is no hope. In all 9th
/ er cases of badness Rexall "93" Hail
Tonic will positively grow hair, OF

Catarrh is an inflammation of the

This Inflammation is caused by
germs which dig into the membrane

not destroyed, catarrh germs increase
and multiply.
All modern scientists agree that in
order to drive catarrh from the sys-
