SAVE YOUR HAIR!
 g GENT BOTTLE
 STOPS DANDRUFF
EVERY BIT OF pANDRuFF DIS. APPEARS AND HAIR STOPS
 COMING OUT.
TRY THIS! YOUR HAIR APPEARS GLossY, ABUNDANT, WAvY ;,
 AND BEAUTIFUL

Thin, brittle, coiorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence Of neglected scalp; of -dandruff--that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair Of it's lustre, it's strength and it's very life; eventually producing a feverish- : ness and itching of the scalp, which if not 'remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight-now-any time-will surely save your hair.
 Get a 25-cent bottle Of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet; counter, and after the first ap- plicatfon your hair will take on that life, lustre and 1uxurianee which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appearance of abundance. an incomparable gloss and softness; but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks use, when you will actually see lot or fine, downy hair-new hair-grow Ing all over the scalp.
 Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them Its sexhilarating and life producing prop critics cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful.
