BEAUTIFUL HAIR
 DO YOU WANT IT !?
You Can Surely Have It By
 Using Parisian Sage.

Who does not love a beautiful head of hair? You may think it is a gift, that some women are born that way. The fact is, beautiful hair is largely 8 matter of cultivation, just as you would water the plants in your garden and fertilize the soil
 Parisian Sage is a scientific prepara- tion which the hair and scalp readily absorbs. It removes dandruf at once. It puts a stop to itching scalp and makes your whole head feel better-as if your hair had had a square meal. \
 One application will astonish you-It will double the beauty of the hair. If used daily for a week you will be sim ply delighted with the result-you will want to tell all your friends that you have discovered Parisian Sage. You should see the number of enthusiastic letters we receive from delighted users.
 All doubts settled at one stroke your money back if you want it.
 Parisian Sage is tea-colored liquid not sticky or greasy-delicately per fumed, that comes in a fifty cent bot tie. The Girl with the Auburn Hair on the package. Get a bottle today always keep it where yo' can use 1t daily
