and your scalp win not itch, but what
will please you most win be after a
few weeks use. when you see new
hair, fine and downy at frst-yes-but

A little Danderine immediately dou-

Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
