GLORIOUS HAIR

Girls and women of all ages want to
be beautiful and attractive, but insight.
ly, thin and lifeless hair destroys half
the beauty of pretty face.
If your hair is losing its natural color,
is falling out, dull, streaky, full of dan
druff, too dry, or if the scalp itches and
burns do not be alarmed, use Partisan
Sage. Rub it we'll into the scalp. 1t
will go right to the hair roots, nourish
them, and stimulate the hair to grow
long and beautiful. 1t removes dan
druff with one application, stops itching
scalp, falling hair, and makes the head
feel fine
Partisan Sage supplies the hair with
what is needed to make it soft, fluffy,
thick and gloriously radiant 1t is sold
in fifty cent bottles by w. II. Sheldon
and at all drug counters. Look for the

Hair Accept no other. adv.
