Dandruffy ScaIps
Lead to Badness

If you have dandruff get rid of it
quick - it's positively dangerous and
will surely ruin your hair if YOU don T.
Dandruffy heads means faded, brittle,
gray, scraggly hair that finally dies and
falls out-new hair viii not grow

you. The only sure Way to abolish
dandrutf for good is to destroy the
germ that causes it. To do this quick
~, surely and safely there is nothing
so effective as Partisan sage, which you
can get from Wilfred f. Root and good
druggists everywhere. 1t is guaranteed
to cure dandruff, stop itching scalp and
falling hair. and promote new growth,
or the cost, small as it is, will be re-

Partisan sage is scientific prepare
tion that supplies all hair needs-an
antiseptic liquid neither sticky or
greasy easy TO apply, and delicately
4 perfumed.
If you want beautiful, soft, thick,
lustrous hair, and lots of it, you must
use Partisan sage. Don Z delay-begin
tonight-a little attention now insures
abundant hair for years TO come.
Note: Partisan sage positively will
not color or streak the hair.
