For Dandruff And Fa||inQ
Hair--25 Cent "Ddnderine''

If you care for heavy hair. that
gIistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous you
must use Danderine, because nothing
else accomplshes so much for the
hair.
Just one application of Knowltons
Danderne will double the beauty of
your hair, besides it Immediately dis
solves every particle of dandruff; you
cannot have nice, heavy, healthy hair
if you have dandruff. This destruc-
tive scurf robs the hair of its lustre
it's strength and its very life, and if
not overcome it produces a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp; the
hair roots famish, loosen and die;
then the hair falls out fast
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
oily, don't hesitate, but get % cent
bottle Of Knowlton's Danderine at any
drug store or toilet counter; apply a
little as directed and ten minutes after
you will say this was the best invest
ment you ever made
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised that if you
desire soft, lstrous, beautiful hair and
lots of it-no dandruff-no itching
scalp and no more falling hair-you
must use Knowlton's Danderine. If
cyentually-why not now? A % cent
bottle will truly amaze you.

as such fish usually do. and instead

not in good condition and l thought 1t
was hardly worth while to do any

The fisherman admitted that he went
out in a boat with two men who did fish,
but the conditions were not such that he
was tempted to bait his hook. Three
fish were caught by the two others.
