A HOPEFUL MESSAGE TO SCALP
SUFFERERS AND MEN WHOSE
HAIR Is THINNING

Dandruff now--bald later. The same
is true of scalp diseases. In fact bald
ness is scalp disease. The trouble
with the greasy salves and lotion, the
so-called dandruff and scalp cures you
have tried so far is that they don't do
anything but temporarily relieve the
itching and cake the dandruff so II
doesn't fall until it's dried out again,
Nohing can cure-really cure such
troubles but real scalp medicine that
will kill the germs causing dandruff
and scalp disease.
Learning from leading fellow drug
gists throughout America that they had
found a whirlwind cure for dandruff,
eczema and all diseases of the skin and
scalp, the Fout & Porterfleld drug store
on proving to the laboratories COM
pounding the treatment that 1t is the
most prominent drug store in this city
secured the agency for the remedy.
This remedy is zEMO, the clean.
liquid preparation that kills the germ
of disease, and ZEMO SOAP to wash
the scalp or skin clear and clean OF
the dandruff or scale and by its anti
septic qualities soothe and heal.
Sold and guaranteed by druggists
everywhere and in Fargo by F'out &
Porterfield.
