THE STORY OF THE
COAT COLLAR
DANDRUFF!

We often see well-dressed
men of otherwise splendid
appearance with coat collars
and shoulders marred with
the tiny grains of dandruf.
Yet this disgusting condition
is easily remedied. If the hair
is given a good hard brushing
daily and Speiser's Scalp
Tonic is used in connection,
dandruff viii soon disappear.
Above all things, avoid
preparations containing Coco
anut oil or alkalis. Foaming
solutions always contain al
kalis, as do all soaps. They
serve to dry out the scalp and
cause more harm than good.
Speiser's Scalp Tonic gives
immediate relief and its con-
tinued use soon restores the
scalp to its naturally healthy
condition. 1t sells for SOC
and can be obtained only at
O'Donnell's Drug Store, 9o4
F street. Mr.. O'DOnnell has
such faith in this preparation
that he offers to refund the
money should it fail.
