The only way TO get permanently rid Of

scalp for few days. then the scales form
again as thick as ever.
To destroy the dandrun germ and get rid
OF the dandruf for good part the hair and
apply n little of the genuine Partisan Sage
directly on the bare scalp and rub il in
with the finger tips until absorbed. You
will surely be amazed az the result Of even
one application for your hair and scalp
win look and feel 100 per cent. better.
Only few days massage with Partisan
Sage should be needed to destroy the germs
that cause the dandruh to form. The scalp
becomes healthy, the hair will grow better
and show more life and vitality and you
should no longer be troubled by dandruf.
Faded, dull or lifeless hair is quickly re.

which is absolutely harmless and will not
