HOW TO Be RID OF
DISGUSTING DANDRUFF

The only way to be permanently
rid of disgusting, untidy dandruff Is
to correct its cause. Shampooing
merely cleanses the scalp for a few
days, then the scales form again as
thick as ever.
To destroy the dandrufr germ and
get rid OF dandruff for good, part the
hair and apply a little OF the genuine
Partisan Sage directly on the bare
scalp: and rub IL in with the finger
tips for few minutes until absorbed
amazed at the result of even, one APP
plication, for your hair and scalp will
look and feel 100 per cent. better.
only a few days massage with Partisan
sage are needed 10 destroy the germs that
cause the dandrun to form. The scalp be-
comes healthy the hair will grow better and
show more life and vitality. and you need
never be troubled by dandrun again. Faded,
dull or llfeless hair Is quickly restored to
beauty by this simple process, which is alb
solutely harmless. and will not stain the hair
or make II greasy.
