full hair. do not permit your attractions
to be hidden because of this slight mis-
that you can have just as luxuriant and
beautiful head of hair as any other

large bottle of Partisan Sage for so
cents. The best tonic and the largest
bottle for the money. Use it each
night for few days and you will no.
