For if the root Is allos, Suvikna will make it grow, Be- causa Silvikrin is an exact reproduction of the food that Nature herself alould be supplying the hair through the blood- stream.
Problem of hair-growth solved
Owing to a brilliant plece of research, the problem af hair-growth has now boon solved. It was found that no less than fourteen different organio elements are needed by the hair. These fourteen ha succeeded in putting up in Nature's exact proportions. in Silvikrin. Doctors to whom it was submitted for teating were enthusiastia. They proped that Silvikrin clears up dandruit, prevents hair falling. and, if the root is still alivo, actual makes hair glow. Professor Poliand, the dermatologist was especially sweeping his praise. (Read it in the bookint with every Silvikrin: bottle.)
