SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE
All Over America, the News Of the
Marvellous Dandruff Cures of Paris
ian Sage Has Spread.

A Few years ago there was intro
duced into America a cure for dandruff
falling hair and all scalp diseases.
This hair renewer did not attract
much attention for some months, until
Il progressive business man, hearing of
several almost magical cures decided
to tell the American people of its
mighty power to destroy the deadly
dandruff germ.
Ana today, without any sensational
or untruthful advertising. Partisan
Sage is used extensively in almost
every town in America. And what has
produced this great demand? Simply
this: Partisan Sage does just what we
are telling the readers of the Journal it
will do.
We claim, and we back our claim
with Bowditch 4 Webster's money
back guarantee, that Partisan Sage is
the most invigorating and reiuvinating
hair tonic. 1t cures dandrutf, stops
falling hair and itching scalp; it makes
the hair grow strong and vigorous. yet
soft and lustrous. 1t is the only hair
dressing that reaches the root bulb of
the hair and destroys the dandruff
germ.
And to the women who are reading
this simple statement of fact. we want
to say that Partisan Sage works won
ders with womens hair. 1t will turn
dull, harsh and faded hair into
beautiful. lustrous hair in a few DAYS
and is the most pleasant and satisfying
hair dressing any woman ever used.
"My hair was falling out rapidly
when heard of your guaranteed hair
restorer The first application removed
the itching. my hair stopped falling
out. and it is soft. glossy and pffable' .
