Itoubb Its Ihnuty In a Few- MometiU Try This! If you care for heavy hair, that glistens with beauty and Is radiant with life; has sn Incomparable soft ness and Is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderlne. Just one application doubles the beauty of your hair, besides It im mediately dissolves every particle of dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy, healthy hair If yon have dan druff. - This destructive scurf robs the hair of Its lustre, its strength and Its very life, and If not overcome it produces a feverishness and Itch ing of the scalp; the hair roots fam h. loosen and die; then the hair falls out fast. If your hair has been neglected and Is thin, faded, dry. scraggy or too oily, get a small bottle of Knowlton's Danderlne at any druz store or toilet counter for a few cents; apply a little as directed and ten minutes after you will say this was the best Investment you ever made. We sincerely believe, regardless of everything else advertised, that if you desire so'ft. lustrous, beauti'ul hair and lots of It no dandruff no Jtching scalp and no more falling hair you must use Knowlton's Danderlne.
