THIS STOPS hair
FROM FALLING OUT

Ever count the dead hairs in your
comb and brush? They are natures
warning Of future badness and proof
that the dangerous dandruff germ is
busy on your scalp. 1t was a famous
Paris physician who first discovered
that dandruff and falling hair are
caused by a microbe. Then came the
discovery of the value of Partisan Sage
liquid FORM in destroying the dan.
druff germ and promptly preventing
the further loss of hair. The effect of
only three days use of Partisan Sage
is simply marvellous, and the American
people have now awakened to the fact
that they can be quickly rid of dandruff
and save their hair by using Partisan
Sage.
Partisan Sage is sold by Mt. City
Drug Co. and good druggists every.
where. It's inexpensive, daintily per.
fumed, free from sickness, and will
surely cause hair to grow soft, lustrous
and really seem twice as abundant.
