give a plant to make 1t healthy and
beautiful. Luxuriant hair-soft, fluffy,
thick and lustrous-is really a matter
of care If it is too thin. make it grow.
If it is too dry and brittle, soften 1t up
lubricate it. If you have dandruff 1t Is
because the scalp is too dry and flakes
off Freshen up the scalp and the
dandruf disappears.
Partisan Sage, an inexpensive tonic,
which you can get from any drug or
toilet counter, or from O'Donnell's drug
store, is Just what you need-it softens
the scalp, nourishes the hair roots, i'm
medIateIy removes dandruff. and makes
the hair fluffy, lustrous and abundant.
One application will stop itching head
and cleanse the hair OF dust and eN-
cessive oil. Partisan Sage takes away
the dryness and brittleness, makes the
hair twice as abundant and beauties 1t
until il is soft and lustrous.
By the use of this helpful tonic any
woman can easily make her hair soft.
fluffy and abundant. Pretty hair will
surely increase her charm and beauty.
