Evans Vacuum Cap

EvansProfile+Frontal150

The cure for baldness! The concept of this quack device, advertised widely just before the Food & Drug Act of 1906, was that suction applied at the top of the head would draw blood up to feed the roots of the hair, and result in luxuriant hair growth. Right. Thirty days of free trial, and the Jefferson Bank of St. Louis will hold your money and give you a genuine certificate promising to return the money if you are not satisfied. Right. This device would also give a man's (bald) scalp a healthy glow and a pleasant tingling sensation.Where do I sign up?
