HOW TO Be RID OF
CHRONIC nARDRUFF

The only way to be permanently rid
of disgusting, untidy dandruff is to
correct its cause. Destroy the dandrurl
germ and get rid of dandruff for good
by rubbing little of the genuine
Partisan Sage directly on the bare
scalp until absorbed. You will surely
be amazed at the result of even one
application.
Only few days massage with Pari-
sian Sage are needed to destroy the
germs that cause the dandruff to form.
The scalp becomes healthy, the hair
will grow better, show more life and
vitality, and you need never be trou-
bled by dandrufr again. Faded, dull or
lifeless hair is quickly restored to
beauty by this simple treatment, which
is absolutely harmless.
Partisan Sage can be obtained from
the Mountain City Drug company and
druggists everywhere. 1t is not ex-
pensive.
