About one year ago, this new

written guarantee to stop falling
hair and grow new hair in 90 days.
Most men greeted it with skep-

their guarantee and finally obtained
a few users. People had been de-
ceivcd SO many times with so-called
hair growers" that regardless Of
the high scientific background of
the Van Ess Method. sthey were
loath. to try it. s.
But with these first few users
came, shortly after, amazing results.
In about 90 out of every 100 cases
the method did the work. Men whose
hair was falling fast found that it
could be stopped-almost at wilt
Others in the initial stages of bald
