THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF

beautiful-Get Is cont bottle
Of Danderine.

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an incompatible softness and
Is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it 1mme-
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff. You can not have nice
heavy, healthy hair If you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair Of its lustre, its strength and
it's very life, and If not overcome it
produces a feverishness and itching Of
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die: then the hair falls out
fast. Surely get 25-cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
store and just try it.
