ARTIFICIAL VANILLA
CREATES LOWER PRICE
Original Flavor Has Many
Clever limitations on Market

The familiar fiavoring known as va
nilla is made from the fermented and
dried seed pods of the vanilla orchis
vanilla planifolia) growing in eastern
Mexico. 1t is also prepared from other
species of this genus, and is produced
in Java, the Seychelles, and Reunion.
The peculiar flavor and fragrance of
vanilla is due to vanillin, which is
chemically one ef the aldehydes, saws
the London Globe. After the pods have
undergone a somewhat complicated
process of curing, during which fer
mentation has taken place, they are
found to be covered with an eff1ores-
cence of vanillin. This fragrant prin-
ciple has also been found in raw sugar.
and in benZoin Owing to the high
price of the article as prepared from
the pods of the vanilla orchis various
methods of chemical preparation have
been used. Vanillin, for example, has
been made from asafetida. Tiemann
and Maarmann, again, made it from
coniferin, a glucoside occurring in va
rious species of conifers. Then 1t was.
made from eugenol, constituent of the
oil. of cloves. AS a consequence of this
artificial production the price fell 70
los a pound in 1909. Recently another.
and probably cheaper method of build
ing up the aromatic aldehydes, of which
vanillin is one, was discovered by
Guyot. And this has been successfully
applied to the making of vanillin by
Guyot and Grey.

THEY GROW HAIR
Certain Ingredients if Prop.
erly Combined Stimulate
Human Hair Growth

Resorcin is one of the most ef-
fective germ destroyers ever dis
covered. Beta-naphthol is a most
powerful, yet absolutely safe germi-
eide and antiseptic, which prevents
development of germ matter, and
creates a clean. healthy condition.
Pilocarpine, although not a coloring
matter or dye, is an ingredient well es-
tablished for it's power to restore nat
ural color to human hair.
Borax, because of it's well-defined
softening, cleansing properties, is
most useful in the treatment of
scalp and hair diseases. G1ycerine acts
as a stimulant to the hair bulbs, and
has soothing, healing and nourish-
ing influence. Alcohol is Indispensable
in medicine because of its antiseptic,
stimulating and preservative qualities
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is chiefly
composed of these ingredients, which
are compounded in a peculiar form,
and we believe it is the most effec-
tive remedy known to medical science
for scalp and hair troubles generally.
We personally guarantee it to eradi-
cate dandruff and scalp irritations and
to grow hair even though the scalp in
spots is bare of hair. providing of
course there is life and vitality re-
naming in the hair roots.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease, dandruff or loss of hair
to try Rexall "93" Hair Tonic If it
