The ornate molding on the back of the brush - it would seem the artwork alone would be enough to encourage hair to grow.
The Dr. Scott's enterprise sold a remarkable range of electrical items: corsets, toothbrushes, buttonhooks, body brushes...
The brush isn't Electric though - it's Magnetic. Scott sold an accessory compass to demonstrate the brush's extraordinary power to deflect a compass needle - a sure sign of hair growing potency.
An X-Ray of the brush reveals the bar of magnetized steel molded into the resin handle.
The side and inside top cover of the box. In Daily Use by Royalty: a positive guarantee of quality in hair brushes, marmalade jam and scotch whiskey.
