To be possessed of a head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is mere
ly a matter of using a little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just
get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine now-all drug stores rec
ommend it-apply a little as directed
and within ten minutes there will be
an appearance of abundance, fresh
ness, fiuffiness and an incompatible
gloss and lustre, and try as you will
you can not find Il trace of dandruff or
falling hair; but your real surprise will
be after about two weeks use, when
YOU will see new hair--fine and downy
at first-yes-but really new hair -
sprouting out all over your scalp -
Danderine is, we believe, the only sure
hair grower, destroyer of dandruff and
cure for itchy scalp and it never fails
to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at q time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this.-Ad-
vertisement.
