GIRLS! BEAUTIFY
YOUR HAIR and
STOP DANDRUFF
Hair comes charming,
wavy, lqstrous and thick
in few moments.
Every bit of dandruff disap-
pears and hair stops
coming out.

For a few cents you can save
your hair. In less than ten minutes
you can double its beauty. Your
hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy,
abundant and appears as soft, lus-
trous and charming as young girls
after applying some Danderine. Also
try this-moisten cloth with a
little Danderine and carefully draw
it through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. This will
cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or eX-
cessive oil, and in just a few mo-
ments you have doubled the beauty
of your hair. A delightful surprise
awaits those whose hair has been
neglected or is scraggy, faded, dry,
brittle or thin. Besides identifying
the hair, Danderine dissolves every
particle of dandruff; cleanses, puri-
fies and invigorates the scalp, for
ever stopping itching and falling
hair, but what will please you most
will be after few weeks use, when
YOU see new hair-fine and downy
at first-yes-but really new hair
growing all over the scalp. If you
care for pretty, soft hair, and lots
of it, surely get a small bottle of
Danderine from any
drug store or toilet counter and just
try it.-Adv.
