Interesting vintage advertisement.
The small print of the ad (capitalization and quotation marks intact) reads:
Hair needs food to keep it alive.
If the roots have been weakened by the attacks of the scalp microbe, your hair falls sick, falls out, turns gray.
A sure sign of "hair disease" is itching and dandruff.
Heretofore the treatment of diseases of the Hair and Scalp has been a matter of guesswork, without regard to the cause.
In the laboratories of the Cranitonic Hair and Scalp Food Co., of New York, the only Institute in America devoted to diseases of the hair and scalp, the cause of the disease is learned by means of a Microscopic Examination of the hair, and a cure effected by exact and scientific methods.
The Cranitonic Hair Food and Shampoo Scalp Soap were formulated for the exact purpose of preventing and curing all hair and scalp diseases, and are sold by druggists.
For purposes of scientific research and investigation, and in the perfection of its formulae, the Cranitonic Hair Food Co. has already expended more than $200,000.
In a miscroscopical examination of 1,000 different samples of human hair, made in the Cranitonic Hair and Scalp Laboratories and Institute (incorporated under the laws of the State of New York) 24 different diseases of the hair and scalp were discovered, many of them HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS AND ALL FATAL TO THE LIFE OF THE HAIR.
If you wish to be cured of itching scalp, dandruff, to save your hair and grow more, write giving address in full, and you will get a FREE BOTTLE of Cranitonic Hair Food and Shampoo Soap, also a 48 page illustrated "Hair Care" book.
The only part of any hair that is alive is inside the follicle.
Not too much different from some of the late night TV ads today !
As was said: "There is a sucker born every minute" HA!
That clip is a great find ! Thanks for Sharing
