Human Hair Growth Resorcln Is one of the most effective germ destroyers ever discovered. Beta napthol is a most powerful, yet ab solutely safe germicide and antiseptic, which prevents development of germ matter, and creates a clean, healthy condition. Pilocarpine, although not a coloring matter or dye. Is an Ingredient well eetabl'shed for Its power to restore natural color to human hair. Borax, because of Its well-defined softening and cleansing properties, is most useful in the treatment of scalp and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as a stimulant to the hair bulbs, and has a coothlng, healing and nourishing in fluence. Alcohol Is Indispensable In medicine because of Its antiseptic, stimulating and preservative qualities. P.c-xall "93" Hair Tonic Is chiefly composed of these ingredients, which are compounded in a peculiar form, and wo believe it Is the most effective remedy known to medical science for scalp and ha'r troubles generally. We personally guarantee It to eradicate dandruff and scalp Irritations and to grow hil-. even though the scalp In spots is bare of hair, providing of course there Is l'fe and vitality re maining In the hair roots. We want everyone troubled with scalp disease, dandruff or loss of hair to try Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. If it does not remove dandruff and promote a growth of hair to the satisfaction of tho urct. we will without question or quibble return every cent paid us for It. This guarantee is printed on every package. It has effected most satis factory results In 93 out of 100 cases where put to a practical test. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic Is entirely unlike and In every particular differ ent from anything else we know of for the purpose for which it is recommend ed. We urge you to try It at our en tire risk. Certainly we could offer ho better guarantee. Two slze, 50 cents and $1.01'. The Owl Drug Co., Inc., Cor. 7th and Washington Sts.
