To be possessed of a head of heavy
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter of using a little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive TO have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but a few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply a little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance
freshness, fiuffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find a trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your re;l surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fine and
downy al first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, mOisten a cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw ii through your h~air-taking one
small strand at a time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv
