brated scientist, who spent the best
years of his life perfecting this great

people he said: "Parisian Sage is the
most delightful hair dressing in the
world. 1t cures dandruff by killing the
germs that infest the roots of the hair;
it stops falling hair; it gives vigor and
strength to the hair roots. F. A. Shurt-
left & Co. sell Partisan Sage at so cents
large bottle and guarantee it to do all
that ia claimed for it, or your money is
refunded. 1t stops falling hair, dandruff
and itching scalp in two weeks.
