Out badly; often I nearly cried on ac
count of losing my pretty head of hair.
I heard of PARISIAN SAGE, and only
had te use two bottles before the balr
stopped coming out. the scalp became
clean and all tha dandruff disappeared.
The hair became silky and one big rea
son that I liked PARISIAN SAGE was
that It kept the hair smooth, silky and
clean, with no traces of stickiness.
- I believe this tonic to be the best on
the market, as there has been no return
of dandruff or hair falling out whatever.

Its use and am glad to do it" S3 E.
