HAIR Gets Thick.
WAVY, BEAUTIFUL
Save your hairi Double its beauty
in a few moments.
Try thisl
Hair stops coming out and every
particle of dandruif
disappears.

Try as you will. after an application
OF Danderine. you cannot find a single
trace OF dandruff or falling hair and
your scalp will not itch, but what will
please you most, will be after a few
weeks use. when you see new hair,
fine and down at first-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty OF your hair No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is imme-
date and amazing-your hair will be
light. fluffy and wavy, and have an
appearance OF abundance; an incom-
parable lustre, softness and luxuri-
ance, the beauty and simmer of true
hair health.
Get a 25-cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or tot
let counter, and prove that your hair
is as pretty and soft as any-that it
has been neglected or injured by care
less treatment-that's all.
! Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. II goes right to the roots,
4 invigorates and strengthens them. It's
exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro-
ducing properties cause the hair to
grow long, strong and beautiful.
