SAVE YOUR HAIR

WITH "DANDERINE''
SPEND Is CENTS! DANDRUFF DIS.
APPEARS AND HAIR STOPS

TRY THIS! HAIR GETS BEAUTIFUL
WAVY AND THICK IN
FEW MOMENTS.

If you care for heavy hair that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life: has an incompatible softness
and is fluffy and lustrous. try Dander-
inc.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair. besides it imme di-
ately dissolves every particle OF dan-
druff: you can not have nice, heavy,
healthy hair If you have dandruf. This
destructive scurf robs the hair of its
lustre, its strength andsits very LIE,
and If not overcome it produces fe-
verishness and itching of the scalp;
the hair roots famish, loosen and DIE;
then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected ana
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
oily, get 25-cent bottle of KnoWlton's
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter; apply a little as directed ana
ten minutes after YOU will say this was
the best investment you ever made.

everything else advertised, That Hryou
