[ WHY HAIR
Dandruff causes a feverish irritation
of the scalp, the hair roots shrink,
loosen and then the hair comes out
fast. To stop falling hair at once and
rid the scalp of every particle of dan
druff, get a 25-cent bottle of Danderine
at any drug store, pour a little In your
hand and rub well into the scalp.
After a few applications all dandruff
disappears and the hair stops coming
out. —Adv.
