Does l)andruf Cause
Badness?

THREE major scalp ills. defined
l. by specialists as types of dan.
druff, are said to cause more than
5000 of all cases of badness. Dandruff
is, therefore, definitely serious scalp
ailment and calls for modern, effec-
tive treatment.
If dandruff scales are accommodating
on your scalp and are causing it to
itch and burn, you are being warned
that serious trouble may be in the
offing: Take heed and consult a
Thomas expert at once. Let him
show you exactly how the reliable,
proved Thomas treatment readily re-
moves those ugly dandruff scales, and
how it helps to soothe the itch which
dandruf may be causing.
