Advertisement for Captol, 1898. 'SOMETHING NEW FOR THE HAIR BY A LEADING PHYSICIAN - "CAPTOL" is the latest discovery by the well-known authority on skin diseases, Dr. J. Eichoff. The fact that such a prominent physician allows his name to be associated with it is a guarantee that "CAPTOL" will not cause disappointment to those who give it a trial. ''CAPTOL" removes the densest growth of scurf and dandruff with greater speed than any other preparation. It is, therefore, the safest preventive of falling hair yet discovered. "CAPTOL" is made from vegetable ingredients; it is quite free from lead, mercury, and other poisons. Whilst imparting to the hair a glossy and pleasing appearance, it does not in the slightest degree affect the original shade, as it is not a dye; and, unlike other Hair Washes, it does not make the hair the least greasy or sticky. Many preparations before the public are most dangerous. "CAPTOL" is non-explosive, and can be used with perfect safety...do not be put off with other kinds which are recommended as "just as good," "cheaper," &c., but write to Mulhens' 4711 Depot, 62, New Bond Street, London, who will either give you the name of the nearest dealer keeping it or will send you a bottle post free for 4/-'.
