TOO BAD
YOU'RE old"
With Your Hair You Would
Look Ten Years Younger ;

How often we have heard
this expression concerning a
prematurely bald young-old
man. 1t is absolutely I'M
necessary that any man
should be subjected to such
sympathy from his friends,
for there is a preparation on
the market which, if used in
time will remove all symp-
toms of falling hair, dandruff,
and irritations of the scalp
and promote the growth of
the hair.
If you have been expert
menting with preparations
containing cocoanut oil or al
kalis (if it foams it contains
alkalis) throw them away at
once! Go to O'Donnell's
Drug Store, oO4 F street, and
ask for a SOC bottle of Speis-
er's Scalp Tonic. Use it ac-
cording to directions, and in
a reasonable time the most
satisfactory results will be
obtained. Remember, Mr..
O'Donnell guarantees this
preparation personally-if it
fails, ask him for your
money.-Advt.
