-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam

never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise

Washington of his election to his high

strued ms having commenced or March

GOING BACK TO NATURE
BY DIR. W. LUCAS.

People get sick because they go

Some of these vegetable growths are
understood by man, and some are not

often restores appetite and health.

DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, long since
found the herbs and roots provided by
Nature to overcome constipation, and he
had these vegetables collected and made
up of Mayapple, leaves of Aloe, root OF
Jalap, into little white sugar-coated pills,
that he called DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
You must understand that when your IN
testnes are stopped up, poisons and de-
cayed matter are imprisoned in your sys.

throughout your body. Thus does your

over. Don't you see how useless all this

YOUR convenience and health. Try them
by all means. They are probably the very
thing you need right now.
