GIRLS! HAVE WAVY.
THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Save your hair! Double its beauty
in few moments
try this!

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incompatible softness
and is fluffy and lustrous, try Dan
derine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle of dan
druff; you cannot have nice, heavy,
healthy hair if you have dandruff. This
destructive scurf robs the hair of its
lustre, it's strength and its very life,
ard if not overcome it produces a few
erishness and itching of the scalp; the
hair roots famish, loosen and die; then
the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
oily, get 25-cent bottle of Knowl-
ton s Danderine at any drug store or
toilet counter; apply little as directed
and ten minutes after you will say this
was the best investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that if you
desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair, and
lots of it-no dandruf-no itching
scalp and no more falling hair-you
must use Knowlton Danderine. If
eventually not nows-Advt.
