You do not want a slow treatment
for itching scalp when hair is falling
and the Aandrnff germ IS killing the
hair roots. Delay means-no hair.
Get, at any drug store, a bottle of
zerno for Csc or $l.O for extra large
size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. It kills the dandruf
germ, nourishes the hair roots and i'm
mediately stops itching scalp. 1t is
a pure, reliable, antiseptic liquid. is not
greasy, is easy to use and will not stain.
Soaps and shampoos are harmful, as
they contain alkali. The best thing TO
use for scalp irritations is zemo, for it
is safe and also inexpensive.
