HAIR HEALTH.
If You Have Scalp or Hair Trouble
Accept This offer.

When we promise your money back
FOR the mere askin- if Rexa'l "93"
Hair Tonic does not do as we claim it
will, you certainly have no reason
for even hesitating to try it. We do
not ask you to obligate yourself in
any way.
We could not afford to so strongly
en- lorse RexalI "93' Hair Tonic and
C .ntinue to sell it as we do, if it did
not do all we claim. Should our en-
rhusiasm carry Us away, and RexaIl
"93" Hair Tonic not give entire sa-
tisfaction 70 the users, they would
lose faith in us and our statements,
and in consequence our business
prestige would suffer.
Therefore, when we assure You
that Rexall ''93" Hair Tonic will
promptly eradicate dandruff, stimu-
late hair growth and prevent prema-
ture badness. you may rest assured
we know what we are talking about.
We honestly believe that Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic will do more than
my other human agency toward re-
storing hair growth and hair health
It is not greasy and will not gum the
scalp or hair or cause permanent
stain. 1t is as pleasant to use as pure
cold water. 1t comes in two size,
prices SO cents and $1.00. Remem-
