THICK, GLOSSY HAIR : FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Beautify Your Hair! Make 1t Soft, Fluffy and Luxuriant--Try
 the Moist Cloth.

Try as you will. after an application of Danderine, you cannot find single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most, will be after a few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but real ly new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately dou- bles the beauty of your hair. No differ ence how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at n time. The effect is i'm mediate and amazing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incom- parable luster, softness and luxuri- ance, the beauty and shimmer of true hair health.
 Get a 25- cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store and prove that your hair is as pretty and sofi as any--that 1t has been neglected or injured by careless treatment--that's all. Adv.
