ARE MICROBES
IN YOUR SCALP?
It Has Been Proven That Microbes
Cause Badness.

Prof. Unna, of Hamburg, Germany,
and DR.. Sabourand, the Leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
a mjcrobe causes badness. Their
theory has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observation OF
eminent scientists. This microbe
lodges in the sebum, which is the
natural hair oil, and when permitted
to flourish it destroys the hair folli-
Giles and in time the pores entirely
close, and the scalp gradually takes
on a shiny appearance, When this
happens there is no hope of the
growth of hair being revived.
We have remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, eX-
terminate the microbe promote good
circulation in the scalp and around
the hair roots, tighten and revitalize
the hair roots and overcome badness
so long as there is any life left in the
hair roots.
We back up this statement witt
our own personal guarantee that this
remedy called Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic
will be supplied free of all cost to the
user il it fails to do as we state.
