HELPFUL HINTS
ON HAIR HEALTH
Scalp aud Hair Troubles Generally c aused
by Carelessness.

Scalp aud Hair Troubles Generally c aused
by CareleSsness.
Dandruf is a contagious disease
caused by a microbe which also pro-
duces badness. Never use a comb or
brush belonging TO someone else. No
matter how Clearly the owner may be,
these articles may be infected with
microbes, which will infect your scalp.
1t is far easier to catch hair microbes
than it is to get rid of them, and a
single stroke of an infected comb or
brush often produces the cause of
badness. Never try on anybody else's
hat for the reason hat many a hat
band is a nesting place for microbes.
If you happen TO be troubled with
dandrufI, itching scalp, falling haiI
or badness, We have a remedy which
we positively know will cure these
troubles, and we are so sure Of this
that we offer it to you with the under
standing that it will cost you nothing
for the trialif it does not produce the
results we claim. This remedy is
called Rexall 1893" Hair Tonic. 1t is
the most scientific remedy for all scalp
and hair troubles, and we know of
nothing else that equals it for effec.
tiveness. We know this because of
the results it has produced in hun
dreds of cases.
ReXall 1893" Hair Tonic will posit-
lively Danish dandruf permanently,
restore natural color when its loss has
been brought about by disease, aud
makes the hair naturally silky, soft
and glossy. 1t does this because il
stimulates tn hair f~ollicles, removes
daudruf, destroys the germ matter,
and brings about a free, healthy cir
oulation OF blood which nourishes the
hair roots, causing them to tighten
and grow new hair.
We want everybody in Lexington
who has any trouble with hair or
scalp to know that Rexall 1893" Hair
Tonic is the best hair tonic and re-
storative in existence, and none
should scot or doubt this statement
until they have put our claims to a
fair test, with the understanding that
they pay us nothing for the remedy
if il does not give full and complete
satisfaction In every particular.
