No Need to
Fear Badness
Tells How Partisan Sage Makes Hair
Grow Strong, Thick and Lustrous.

Thousands of men and women
are growing bald every day. This
is needless because badness usually
comes from neglect and anyone
who gives the scalp q little atten-
ton should always have an
abundance OF good-looking, healthy
hair. Dandruff and dirt cause
badness by clogging the pores in
the scalp, and giving the dandruff
germs fertile ground for prolific
breeding.
The treatment is very simple: re-
move the dirt by shampooing and
destroy the dandruff germs by ap-
plying the genuine Partisan Sage
most efficient antiseptie liquid
that druggists everywhere are now
recommending as one of the quick.
est and safest treatments to surely
stop itching scalp and falling hair.
remove all dandruff, and to proper
ly nourish and invigorate the hair
roots.
Partisan Sage is in great demand
by discriminating women because
it is daintily perfumed, does not
color or streak the hair, and gives
it a softness and luster that fas-
cinates and compels admiration.
Peoples Drug Stores will guarantee
1t to you.
