|FOR DANDRUFF, FALLING HAIR OR
 ITCHY SCALP--25 CENT DANDERINE.

it's lustre, it's strength and it's very life, and if not overcome it produces Ia feverishness and itching of the scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen and die; then the hair falls out fast.
 If your hair has been neglected and is thin, faded. dry, scraggy or too oily, get a 25-cent bottle of KnowltOn's Danderine at any drug store or toilet 10 minutes after you will say this was the best investment you ever made.
 We sincerely believe, regardless of everything else advertised, that if you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair and lots of 1t--no dandruff-no itching scalp and no more falling hair-you must use KnowIton's Danderine. If eventua1ly-why not now?
