SCREENLAND 91 If I Can t Give It to You .... I don't want your money By Alois Merke To Those Afflicted with Thinning Hair, Dandruff, Itchy Scalp ■yOU want HAIR . . . plus quick relief from scalp troubles! And in seeking both these things, you demand: Reasonable assurance that you won't be fooled out of your money or tal-e chances on injury to your scalp! Oh, I know what you're up against. For years I've been in touch with thousands of scalp patients. They all said the same thing: "We don't want rosy promises; all we ask is reasonable assurance of scalp safety and new hair." Now, follow me closely! I give you infinitely more than reasonable assurance. I give you this iron-bound guarantee — New Hair On Your Head in 30 Days . . . or You Keep Your Money And I give you this guarantee in writing! Besides, I positively assure safety to your scalp. I leave it to your good judgment. You're fairminded. Think for a moment : How could I make such a guarantee if I didn't have absolute confidence in my treatment? Why, I'd be out of business in a week! I'd lose my reputation. I'd ruin the professional standing of the Merke Institute, Fifth Avenue, New York, a scalp research bureau established 13 years ago and known from Coast to Coast. But I can safely guarantee new hair ... or no cost. For patient research showed me what others either purposely ignore or just don't know : Falling hair cannot be stopped by ordinary surface treatments! Leading dermatologists agree with me on that. Years of investigation taught us all that scalp troubles originate belo w the scalp ! Simple as A . . B . . C Here's what happens. Modern habits rob the hair of normal nourishment. Dandruff appears, itching begins. Soon roots weaken and hair falls out. But in countless cases those roots, far from being dead, are only temporarily inactive. Surface treatments can't reach them. A carload of so-called "cures," ordinary tonics and oils won't make sleeping roots wake up. But my treatment, the essence of scientific research, wakes these sleeping roots to active life. I get down BELOW THE SCALP, stimulating little blood vessels; rushing nourishment to the roots themselves. That's why I can safelv GUARANTEE NEW HAIR ... OR NO COST ! So could you if you had done my research. Don't Buy a "Pig in a Bag Thousands Know Me My treatment is based on scientific facts . . . facts that you can check up with your family physician or medical reference books. My treatment is backed by years of research, and the gratitude of thousands who invested a mere few minutes a day in my effective treatment. Very important, too, I have the Merke Institute behind me, an ethical institution known everywhere for its accomplishments in growing hair. And last of all, I say in the strongest way I can, I DON'T WANT A PENNY OF YOUR MONEY IF I FAIL TO GROW NEW HAIR! Quite a difference, isn't it? I assume the burden of proof, not you I Before It's Too Late Run your fingers through those thin spots on your head.
