Sims, the famous poet and dramatist, journalist and playwright, and the writer of "Mustard and Cress" over the signature of "Dagonet" as many people now, is one of the busiest man in the kingdom, but hastily affixing his signature to a letter, he looked up an extended a characteristically cordial welcome to the interview of the Daily Mail –" In '86 I found that I was rapidly going bald. Not seriously, you understand, not the sending out was sufficiently marked to set me thinking out a remedy. I went to two specialists, both of whom cheerfully assured me that I should be absolutely bald in two years. "Then I discovered the preparation which is known as ‘Tatcho'. I found that I had hit upon a remedy capable of working wonders. Look at my hair now ; isn't that convincing evidence? In time people got to know that I had discovered a restorer ; than the trouble began. "Letters in thousands poured into me from men and women in every quarter of the world, from all parts of the kingdom, from America, India, Africa, China and Australia. " In consequence, I said to myself why should this thing go on? If the public wants my hair restorer, the public shall have it ; but the demand must be met in the ordinary businesslike way ; and with the assistance of a number of gentlemen possessing the necessary facilities, that has been accomplished." The Company has decided to make the distribution of 20,000 large trial bottles of "Tatcho". 4/6 Bottles Post Free for 1/10. Provided this coupon is sent to was within one month we bind ourselves to send one of the 20,000 large trial bottles of Mr. George R. Sims' Hair Renewer, ‘Tatcho' 4/6 size, for the sum of 1/10, post free, in a plain sealed package. This special offer to supply a 4/6 bottle of ‘Tatcho' for 1/10, post free is made solely with the object of enabling the public to prove the superlative value, and to avoid the necessity for extravagant outlay in advertising.
