NOT A PARTICLE OF DANDRUFF OR A FALLING HAIR Save your hair! Double its beauty in just a few moments. "Danderine" makes your hair thick, glossy, wavy and beautiful. Within ten minutes after an ap plication of Danderine you can riot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not Itch, but what will pieaso you most will be after a few weeks" use, when you see new hair, lino and downy at first—yes —but really new hair — growing all over the scalp. Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strength ens them. Its exhilarating, stimu lating and life-producing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful. A little Danderine immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw It through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is amazing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an ap pearance of abundance; an incom parable lustre, softness and luxuri ance. Get a small bottle of Knowlton's Danderino from any drug store or toilet counter, for u. few cents, and prove that your hair is as pretty and boft as any—that It has been neglect ed or injured by careless treatment —that's all—you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it If you will just try a little Danderlne.
