Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-
but really new hair-growing all over
the scalp.
A little Danderine immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
