Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation Of Danderine you can not find
single trace Of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair,
tne and downy at first-yes-bVt real
y new hair-growing all over the
scalp
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair No
Inference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, Just moisten a cloth with
Dandertne and carefully draw 1t
through your hair, taking one small
strand at d time. The effect Is amaz-
ns-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
aoundance; an incompatible lustre,
soitness and luxurfance.
Get small bottle of Knowlton's
Ianderine for a few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
sour hair is as pretty and soft as any
