They Grow Hair.
ADVERTISEMENTS
Certain ingredients
Properly Combined,
Stimulate Human
Hair Growth.

Resorcin is one OF the most effective
germ-destroyers ever discovered. Beta
naphthol is most powerful, yet abso-
Iutely safe, ,germicide and antiseptic, which
prevents development Of germ matter,
and creates clean, healthy condition.
Pilocarpine, although not colering
matter or dye, is an ingredient well estab-
ished for its power to restore natural
color to human hair.
Borax, because Of its well-defined soft
ening and cleansing properties, is most
useful in the treatment of scalp and hair
diseases. Glycerine acts as stimulant to
the hair bulbs, and has soothing, heal
Ing and nourishing influence. Alcohol is
indispensable in medicine because Of its
antiseptic, stimulating and preserving
qualities.
Rexau 1897 Hair Tonic is chiefly COM
posed of these ingredients, which are COM
pounded in peculiar form, and we be-
Iieve it is the most effective remedy known
to medical science for scalp and hair
troubles generally. We personally guar
Antee it to eradicate dandrufi and scalp
irritations and to grow hair, even though
the scalp in spots is bare of hair, provid-
ing 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 .I93r Hair Tonic. II it does not re-
move dandrun and promote growth of
hair to the satisfaction OF the user, we
will without question or quibble return
every cent paid us for it. This guarantee
il printed on every package. 1t has ef-
fected most satisfactory results in 9s out
of 100 cases where put to q practical test.
RexaI 1897 Hair Tonic is entirely un-

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. Two

NETS LARGE sum
Continued FROM Page One)
Continued From Page One.)

another check for the sum of $500
was received here from Billings. Mon.
tana, which had been cashed on Feb
ruary : by hardware firm. All of
the checks were protested by the 10
cal bank through a notary and return
ed. branding Pipher as a fraud and
notifying the persons who had cashed
the checks that Pipher had no money
in the local bank.
This morning a check for the sum
of 5000. which was cashed for Piper
on February IL by a Boston. Mass.
hardware firm. was received at the
local bank and it also was protested
and returned. 1t is said that Piper
is working the same game in various
other cities over the country and that
his swindlings amount to approx
mately $4,000.
Travelled for z. 4 N. Co.
For several years he Travelled for the
F. & n. Lawn Mower company of this
city and is we'll known throughout the
west. Last fall it was discovered that
he had embezzled several hundred
dred dollars from the company and an
effort was made at that time to locate
him. Only recently however was it dis
| covered that his swindling schemes
had assumed such gigantic proportions.
1t is thought that he still represents
himself as salesman for the F. L. n.
company and as he is intimately ac-
quainted with the companys customers
all over the country, has no difficulty
| whatever in securing some one to
vouch for him. He is therefore able
| to cash the checks easily and get away
with the money before it is found out
that his drafts are worthless.
1t was thought he would confine his
operations to the western states, as
he was better known in that locality.
The authorities and bank officials were
therefore very much surprised this
morning to learn that he had been in
Boston only three days ago and was
successfully working his game in the
east.
! The Pinkerton detectives have been
put on the case and the police author
! tiles in every town and city in the
country have been notified Of his oper-
atoms. it is said, and furnished with a
| description of the man. 1t is not I'M
| derstood how he has possibly evaded
arrest for SO long a time. and he Is re-
| garded as one Of the most clever GRIM
inals in the business. His jumps over
the country are pulling to the police
and it is thought that the man must
be travelling in a very clever disguise.
