Advertisement for Homocea, 1895. 'A Bald Spot. Mr. John Craig, of 54, Brighton Avenue, Reddish, near Manchester, writes: "Having seen the advertisements for HOMOCEA, I thought I would give it a trial. "My hair has been coming off for two or three years, leaving a bald spot on the top of my head, about two inches in diameter. I had it rubbed with HOMOCEA, and after six rubbings it was noticed that the hair was coming. There is no doubt about it now. Everyone is surprised. I wanted to wash my head with the Soap, and tried all the principal chemists in Manchester for it, but they could not supply - had never heard of it. "A number of my friends are trying it for the hair. Everyone that sees mine is satisfied that it is growing".' From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
