SAVE YOUR HAIR
and BEAUTIFY IT
WITH "DANDERINE:"
Spend rs cents! Dandruff dis
appears and hair stops
coming out.
Try this! Hair gets beautiful,
wavy and thick in
few moments.

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incompatible sort
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it i'm
mediately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice. heavy,
healthy hair il you Lave dandruff.
This destructive scurf robs the hair of
its lustre, it's strength and it's very
life. and If not overcome it produces
a feverishness 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 Knowltons
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter; apply a 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 dandruff-no itch
ing scalp and no more falling hair
YOU must use Knowlton's Danderine
If eventually-why not now?
