How To Be Rid OF
Chronic Dandruff

The only way to get rid Of dis.
gusting, untidy dandruff Is to correct
its cause. Shampooing merely cleanses
the scalp for a few days, then the
scales form again as thick as ever.
To destroy the dandrutf germ and
get rid Of the dandruff for good, part
the hair and apply a little OF the gen
uine Partisan Sage directly on the bare
scalp and rub it In until absorbed. You
will surely be amazed at the result of
even one application, for your hair
and scalp will look and feel 100 per
cent. better. Only a few days massage
with Partisan Sage should be needed
to destroy the germs that cause dRnd.
ruff to form. The scalp becomes heal.
thy, the hair will grow better, show
more lie and vitality and you should
no longer be troubled by dandruff.
faded, dull or nfeless hair is quickly
restored to beauty by this simple pro-
cess. Partisan Sage can be obtained
from Mt. City Drug Co. and druggists
everywhere. 1t is not expensive.
