specious arguments that American

Marvellous as it may seem, Rexall

heads that We're once bald. OF course,
in none of these cases We're the hair
roots dead, nor had the scalp taken on
a glazed, shiny appearance.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic acts
scientifically, destroying the germs
which are usually responsible for
badness. 1t penetrates to the roots
of the hair, stimulating and nourish-
ing them. 1t is most pleasant toilet
necessity, is delicately perfumed, and
will not gum or permanently stain
the hair.
We want you to get bottle of
Rexall SO Hair Tonic and use it
as directed. If it does not relieve
scalp irritation, remove dandruff,
prevent the hair from falling out and
promote an increased growth of hair,

FOR CONSTIPATION.
A Medicine That Does Not Cost Any
thing Unless it Cures.

The active medicinal ingredients
of RexaH Orderlies, which are odor-
less, tasteless and colorless, is an
entirely new discovery. Combined
with other extremely valuable in
gradients, it forms perfect bowel
regulator, intestinal invigorator and
strengthened. Rexall Orderlies are
eaten like candy and are notable for
their agreeableness to the palate and
gentleness of action. They do not
cause gripping or any disagreeable ef-
feet or inconvenience.
Unlike other preparations for a
like purpose, they do not create a
habit, but instead they overcome the
cause of habit acquired through the
use of ordinary laxatives, cathartics
and harsh physic, and permanently
remove the cause of constipation or
irregular bowel action.
