Within ten minutes after an appli.
cation of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at 6rst-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 cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time The effect is amaZing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that'S all-yOu
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try little DAN
