ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP?
II Has Been Proved That Microbes
Causes Baldnee.

Professor Unna of Hamburg,
Germany, and DR.. Sabourand,
the leading French dermatolo.
gist, discovered that a microbe
causes badness. Their theory
has time and again been amply
verified through research expe-
riments carried on nnder the
observation of eminent scientist.
This microbe lodges in the Sc
bum, which is the natural hair
oil, and when permitted to -four
ish it destroys the hair follicles
and in time the pores entirely
close, and the scalp gradually
takes shiny appearance.
When this happens there is no
hope of the groweth of hair re-
vived.
We have a remedy which will,
we honestly believe, remove dan
druff, exterminate the microbe,
promote good circulation in the
scalp and around the hair roots,
and overcome badness, so long
as there is any life left in the
hair roots.
We back up this statement
with our own personsl guarantee
that this remedy called Rexall
49, Hair Tonic will be supplied
free of all cost to the user if it
fails to do as we state.
1t will frequently help to re-
store gray and faded hair to it's
original color, providing loss of
color has been caused by disease;
yet it is in no sense a dye. Rex

these results by aiding in MAKE
ing every hair root, follicle, and

and by stimulating a natural
flow of coloring pigment through
