Save your hairI Double its
beauty in just a
few moments,

hair thick, glossy, Wavy
and beautiful.

Within ten minutes after an appli.
cation of Danderine you can not fine
a single trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most will be af-
ter few weeks use, when you see
new hair, fine and downy at first
ves---but really new hair-growlng all
over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. 1t goes right to the roots

exhIlarating, stimulating and life-pro-
ducine properties cause the hair to
grow long. strong and beautiful.
A little Danderine immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz-
ing--your hair will be light, fluffy
and wavy, and have an appearance Of
abundance; an Incompatible lustre,
softness ana luxuriance.
Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove that your
hair is as pretty and soft as any--that
IL has been neglected or injured by
careless treatment--that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it If you will just try little DAN
