does not seem to be necessarily true,

THICK. GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try it! Hair gets soft, fluffy
and luxuriant at Once-NO more

II you care for heavy hair, that
gl:stens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice,
heavy, healthy hair if you have -dand-
druff This destructive scurf robs the
hair Of it's lustre, its strength and tbs
very life, and if not overcome it pro-
duces feverishness and itching of the
scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen
and die; then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglect
ed and is thin, faded, dry, scrag-
gy or too oily, get 25-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 investment
you ever made
We sincerely believe, regardless Of
everything else advertised that if you
desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair
and lots of it-no dandruff-no Itch
ing scalp and no more falling hair
you must use knowlton's Danderine.
