THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try It! Hair gets soft, fluffy and
beautiful--Get a small bottle
Of Danderine.

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an Incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle Of
dandr1xff. You can not have nice heavy,
healthy hair if you have dandruff. This
destructive scurf robs the hair of its
lustre, it's strength and it's very life,
and if not overcome it produces fever
ishness and itching of the scalp; the
hair roots famish, loosen and die; then
the hair falls out fast. Surely get q
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
from any drug store and just try it.
