Besides furnishing unlimited power

HOW TO GET RID OF
CHRONIC DaNDRUFF

The only sure way to get permanent
y rid OF dandruff is to remove the con
d1tIons that cause it and then keen the
hair and scalp in a clean. healthy. vig
orous state so that the dandruff win
never return. This beats shampoos,
which merely remove the dandruff for
few days at most. Wilfred F. Root is
now strongly recommending Partisan
Sage, harmless, inexpensive, quick
acting preparation, that is guaranteed
to act directly on the cause of dandruff
and entirely remove it or the purchase
price will be eheerfully refunded.
Here Is test no one should fail to
try. Get from your druggist package
OF Partisan Sage. Rub a little of it
into the scalp with the finger tips and
see for yourself how the dandruff dis.
appears, the hair stops falling out and
all itching Immediately ceases Moth
ing hurts the hair more than dandruff,
SO why not begin using Partisan
Sage today and be forever rid of itP
