Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff--that awful scurf. There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of its lustre, its strength and its very lite; eventually producing a faverish- ness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die--then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine to-night--now--any time--will surely saye your hair, Get a small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toflet counter, and after the first ap- lication your hair will take on that 'e, lustre and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appearance of abundance, an incomparable gloss and softness; but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks' use, when you will actually see a lot of fine, downy hair--new hair--grow- ing all over the scalp. © ©" - pi s wall, said: "How much of that sign| iD NEW EY Wagar 4 : IEEE REEKLY NEWSP.
