FALLING HAIR
You Run No Risk When You
Use This Remedy

While many people in their prime
doubt the assertion that "the hairs of
our head are numbered" yet there is
today many a man and woman fast
reaching the point where this state
ment is literally brought home to them.
II you suffer from irritation of the
scalp and from dandruff. or If your
hair is falling out, do not wait until
you reach the point where you can
actually count how many hairs are
left on your head.
Most cases of badness, are caused
because the roots lack proper nutri-
tion. In such cases there is a microbe
which bores through the scalp along
the line of the hair into the root and
when it lodges there it begins to de-
stroy the fatty matter around the hair
roots. When the scalp and hair roots
are strong and healthy it is impossible
for these microbes to get in their dead
~ work.
We can promise you that. if, your
hair is falling out and you have not let
1t go too far, you can repair the dam
age already done by using Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic. It is scientific, cleans
ing, antfseptic. germicidal preparation
that destroys microbes, stimulates good
circulation around the hair roots, pro-
notes hair nourishment, removes dand-
ruff and restores hair health. 1t Is as
pleasant to use as pure water, and it is
deiicately perfumed 1t Is a real toilet
necessity.
We want you to try Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic with our promise. that 1t will
cost you nothing unless you are per-
fectly satisfied with it's use. 1t comes
in two sizes, prices so cents and sf.o0.
