We were curious as to what miracle Mutesco performed to deserve such a prominent place in the chemist’s window. Below is the text from an advert found in a 1927 newspaper archive:

The Hair Tonic a monk gave the world. Where other claimed remedies fail, Mutesco definitely succeeds. Fading, falling hair – dandruff – all kinds of hair disorder are rectified by this amazingly successful tonic, made in accordance with the magic formula which came, as an heirloom, into the hands of a monk. Mutesco is on sale at chemists everywhere in 1/9 and 3/3 bottles.

There you go..!

The person who is currently developing the premises is hoping that the original Bennett signage is still hanging behind the board over the window; all will be revealed in 2018!
