SEBORRHEA A

Seborrhea is the scourEr that
kills the hair.
1t propagates the dandruf baciIli
and eventually causes badness.
If your hair is falling out, it is
ghtng for its life.
Nature lights to supply new ha
out with seborrhea in the scba
~eous glands each succeeding hais
IS weaker.
Badness keeps coming closer
and closer-unlcss FAMO is used
fAMO destroys the dandruff ba
ill 1t ends all itching.
FAMO causes the growth of new
healthy hair
1t retards grayness-it contains
no alcohol.
FAMO intensifes the natural
color of the hair and adds d new
luster and sheen.
Every member of Nhe family
should use FAMO regularly.
Even where the scalp is healthy,
FAMO should be used as it will
keep seborrhea away.
Also, it will make the hair soft
and fluffy. Its use is a daily habit
you will enjoy.
FAMO comes in two sizes-a
small size at IS cents and a big
bottle at 81. Your money will be
returned, if you are not satisfied.

that her endurance Irlumphs only
because it is supported by ner own
