Petrole Hair Is Always Healthy
Noonan's Hair Petrole Acts
 As a Food

Starved hair will relish Noonar.s Hair Petrole. It seems to be food for thin. dry hair and scaly eca1ps. It is really natures remedy, for the chief ingredients are petroleum and valuable antisepties, which stop the dandruf from forming and stimu- lates the hair to renewed vigor.
 This preparation has become very popular because of the remarka bie results which barbers claim follow it's use, and the delicate perfume is Ge- sirable as a dressing. Use it daily and note how quickly dandruff disap- pears and give nature a chance to show the natural lustre.s Barbers ap- ply it for 15 cents, or it can be pro- cured by the bottle from drug and dept. stores everywhere or direct at sl Ia bottle from the mfrs, T.
