To Avoid Dandruff You do not want a slow treatment for itching scalp when hair is falling and the dandruff gepn is killing the hair roots. Delay means—no hair. Get, at any drug store, a bottle of zemo for 25c or SI.OO for extra large size. Use as directed, for it does the work quickly. It kills the dandruff germ, nourishes the hair roots and im mediately stops itching scalp. It is a pure, reliable, antiseptic liquid, is not greasy, is easy to use and will not stain. Soaps and shampoos are harmful, as they contain alkali. The best thing to use for scalp irritations is zemo, for it is safe and also inexpensive. The E. W. Rose Co., Cleveland, O. BARGAINS!
