The Auto Problem
How to Be Rid of
Disgusting Dandruff

The only way to be permanently
rid of disgusting, untidy dandruff is
to correct it's cause. Shampooing
merely cleanses the scalp for few
days, then the scales form again as
thick as ever.
To destroy the dandruff germ and
get rid of dandruff for good, part the
hair and apply a little of the genuine
Partisan Sage directly on the bare
scalp, and rub it in with the finger
tips for few minutes until absorb
ed by the scalp. You will surely be
amazed at the reuslt of even one APP
plication, for your hair and scalp will
look and feel 100 per cent. better.
Only few days massage with
Partisan Sage are needed to destroy
the germs that cause the dandruff to
form. The scalp becomes healthy
the hair will grow better and show
more life and vitality, and you need
never be troubled by dandruff again.
Faded, dull or lifeless hair is quickly
restored to beauty by this simple
process. which is absolutely harm
less. and will not stain the hair or
make it greasy.
Partisan Sage can be obtained from
II. G. Kennedy and druggists every
where. 1t is not expensive.
