That's the main secret of this great remedy's success as a hair grower, it en"
livens, invigorates and (airly electrifies the hair glands and tissues of the
scalp, causing unusual and unheard-of pctivity on the part of these two most impor
tant organs, resulting In a strenuous and continuous growth
of the hair.

so. It is the greatest scalp fertilizer and therefore the greatest
hairproducinj remedy the world has known
It is a natural food and a wholesome medicine for both the hair
and scalp. Even a 25c bottle of it will put more
genuine life in your hair than a gallon of
any other hair tonic ever made. It shows
