BEAUTIFUL HAIR, THICK, NAVY, FREE
 FROM DANDRUFF
DRAW A MOIST CLOTH THROUGH HAIR AND DOUBLE ITS
 BEAUTY AT ONCE.
SAVE YOUR HAIRI DANDRUFF DISAPPEARS AND HAIR STOPS
 COMING OUT.

Immediate?-YesI Certain that's the joy of it. Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and ap- pears as soft, IuStrous and beautiful as a young girls after an application of Danderine. Also try this-moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and care fully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or exoes sive oils and in just a few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair. A delightful surprise awaits those whose hair has been neglected or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or thin. Besides Deautifying the hair, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invig- crates the scalp, forever stopping itch ing and falling hair, 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.
 Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. Its stimulating and life-pro- ducing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful.
 You can surely have pretty, charm ing, lustrous hair, and lots of it, if you will just get a 25-cenr bottle Of Danderfne from any drug store or toilet counter and try it as directed.
