ANOTHER GERM DESTROYER.
Herpicide Is Death to Dandruff

The germ burrows into the scalp, throw

dandruff, or scurf, and digging at the root
of the hair, where 1t saps the hairs vital

less and dead-like hair. then falling hair
and finally badness. Nine-tenths of the
hair troubles are caused by dandruff.
Without dandruff hair will grow luxu-

break in the railers, however, resulted
from the heavy selling of Atchison stock
