IT'S EITHER
DANDRUFF
OR HAIR
You Can't Have Both
For Long

Look at your coat collar. If
II shows evidence of dandruff
you can take it as a sure sign of
coming badness unless you take
steps to prevent it.
When the hair threatens 10
leave you can't afford to take
any chances. Go to. O'Donnell'S
Drug Store, 9o4 F street, and
ask for Soc bottle of Speissr'S
Scalp Tonic. Use it according
to directions and in a reasonable
time dandruff, falling hair, and
irritations of the scalp and skin
will disappear and the growth of
the hair will be promoted. Mr..
O'Donnell is so certain of the
merits of Speiser's Scalp Tonic
that he'll gladly refund your
money if it fails.
Avoid preparations containing
alkalis (the presence of alkali is
made known by the foaming of
the liquid) or cocoanut oil. Re
on the safe side-use Speiser's
Scalp Tonic only-Advt.
