GROWS HAIR ON BALD HEADS
BALD HEADED PEOPLE NAY GET A NEW
CHANCE IN LIFE.

In these days when youth Is the NOV
ing factor In business; when man makes
his mark at thirty. five and II ready to
retire at forty five; when business houses
pension the man we call "middle aged
rather than allow his tagging influence
to intrude upon the commercial rush, .
bald head IL almost fatal to any mans
hopes. The following must therefore
prove interesting to people who are los
Ing their hair or who arc bald.
Resorcin is one Of the latest and most
effective germ killers discovered by
science, and in connection with Beta
Nspthol, which is both germicidal and
aptiseptic, q combination Is formed
which destroys the germs which rob the
hair of its nutriment, and also creates
clean and healthy condition Of the scalp,
which prevents the development OF new
germs.
PIlocarpin is o we'll known agent for
restoring the hair to Its natural color,
where the loss of color has been due to
disease of the scalp. Yet, 1t 10 not
coloring matter or dye.
This combination of curatives mixed
with alcohol as stimulant perfects the
most effective remedy for hair and scalp
troubles.
The famous Rexall ''93" Hair Tonic is
chiefly composed of Resorcin, Beta Nap
thol and Pilocarpin. 1t makes the
scalp healthy, nourishes the hair, stimu-
lates the follicles. Where the head Is
already bare, 1t enters the follicles, re-
vitalizes the roots, supplies nourishment
and stimulates new growth.
We want you to try few bottles OF
Rexall 1897 Hair Tonic, on our personal
guarantee that the trial will not cost you
a penny II 1t does not give you absolute
satisfaction. That's proof of our faith
in this remedy and 1t should indisput-
ably demonstrate that we know what we
are talking about when we say that
Rexall 1893" Hair Tonic will grow hair
on bald heads, except of course, where
badness has been of such long duration
that the roots of the hair are entirely
dead, the follicles closed and grown over,
and the scalp is glazed.
Remember, we are basing our state
ments upon what has already been &C.
com plished by the use Of Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic, and we have the right to as
sumo that what It has done to hundreds
of others 1t will do for you. In any
event you cannot lose anything by giving
1t trial on our liberal guarantee. Two
sizes, SOC. and $1.00. r. A. Shurtlef

The heavy fall of snow on Sunday, the

sermon from Pastor Eaton.
1t seems as tho "Old Sumner" that so
nobly sent over 100 men in response to
Lincoln's call, ought in some fitting
manner to observe the centenary of his
birth on Feb. II. 1t is hoped that this
may be done. Certainly the occasion is
worthy of hearty commendstion and
great respect. There never was nor can
be but one Abraham Lincoln.

Are your Kidneys sick

II you want to get we'll and stay well
you must make the Kidneys we'll. The
Kidneys are the most important organs
in the body; they do the most work and
as a consequence get out Of order
quickest.
You cannot run a great piece of ma
chinery without attention OF some kind.
Neither can you expect to have good
health IL you fail to look after your Kid
ney Machinery.
The blood passes through the Kidneys
thousands of times day, as often as
through the heart, and this is going on
every minute of our lives.
If the Kidneys are we'll they filter just
SO much blood, but II they are sick or
weak from any cause they leave the
poison in the blood, and this poison
poisons the entire system.
When you consider their great work
and tho ease with which they become
deranged, can you wonder at ill-health
and sicknessp
Can you wonder at the alarming in.
crease and prevalency of Kidney troubles
Bloodine cures all Kidney, Liver,
Bladder, and Blood Diseases.
