They Grow Hair
Certain Ingredients if Properly
Combined, Stimulate HUI
man Hair Growth.

Resorcin is one of the most eff
fective germ destroyers ever discov-
cred. Beta-naphthol is a most pow
erful, yet absolutely safe germicide
and antiseptic, which prevents devel-
opment of germ matter, and creates
a clean, healthy condition.
Pilocarpine, although not a col
oring matter or dye, is an ingredient
well established for its power to re-
store natural color to human hair.
Borax, because of it's well-defined
softening and cleasing properties, lis
most useful in the treatment of scalp
and hair diseases. Glycerine acts
as stimulant to the hair bulbs, and
has soothing, healing and nourish-
ing influence. Alcohol is indispen-
sable in medicine because of its an
tiseptic, 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 effective
remedy known to medical science for
S, alp and hair troubles generally.
We personally guarantee it to eradi-
and to grow hair, even though the
scalp in spots is bare of hair, pro-
vfding If course there is life and vi
tally remaining in che hair roots.

scalp disease, dandruff or loss of

If it does not remove dandruff and
promote a growth of hair to the
satisfaction of the user, we will with
out question or bubble return every
cent paid us for it. This guarantee
is printed on every package. 1t has
effected most satisfactory results in
SO out of 100 cases where put to
a practical test.
Rexall .'93'' Hair Tonic is entirely
unlike and in every particular diff
ferent from anything else we know
OF for the purpose for which it is
recommended. We urge you to try
it at our entire risk. Certainly
we could offer no better guarantee.

within a day or two. Most OF the
enumerators have completed their ac-
counts with the exception Of a few
names to be looked up. This number
of $4,000, while not coming up to the
over sanguine expectations OF some,
is an increase of % per cent over 1900,
when the number Of residents was
$4,000 and some odd numbers. Mr..
Bierring states that this increase is
about what was to be expected. In
