THE STORYOF THE
COAT COLLAR
DANDRUFF!

We often see well-dreSSed
men of otherwise splendid
appearance with coat collars
and shoulders mared with
the tiny grains of dandruff.
Yet this disgusting condition
is easily remedied. If the
hair is given good hard
brushing daily and Speiser's
Scalp Tonic is used in con-
nection, dandruff will soon
disappear.
Above all things, avoid
preparations containing CO.
coanut oil or alkaliS. Foam
ing solutions always contain
alkalis, 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 continued use soon re-
stores the scalp to its natur-
ally healthy condition. 1t sells
for soc and can be obtained
only at O'Donnelps Drug
Store, Qo4 F street. Mr..
O'Donnell has such faith in
This preparation that he Of
fers to refund the money
should il fail.-Advt.
