How to Be Rid of
Dangerous Dandruff

If you have dandruff you must get rid
Of it qIrck-it's positively dangerous and
will surely ruin your hair if YOU don't
Dandruffy heads mean faded brittle,
gray, scraggy hair that will not grow
then you are bald and nothing can help
you.
The only sure way TO abolish olandruff
for good is to destroy the germ that
causes it To do this quickly, surely and
safely and at little expense, there is
nothing as effective as Parisian sage,
which you can get from N B Danforth
and good druggists everywhere It is
guaranteed to Danish dandruff, stop
itching scalp and falling hair, and pro-
mote new growth, or the cost, small as
it IS will be refunded
Partisan sage is a scientific preparation
that supplies all hair needs an antiseptie
liquid, neither sticky nor greasy, easy TO
apply and delcately perfuined.
