If you care for heavy hair that glis- tens with beauty and is radiant with life; has an incomparable softness and is ftniter and lustrous, try Danderine. Just one application doubles the beauty of your hair, besides it imme- 'diately 'dissolves every particle of 'dandruff. You can not have nice heavy, healthy hair if you have dandruff. This destructive scurf robs the hair of its lustre, its strength and its very, life, and if not overcome it produces a feverishness and itching of the scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen and die; then the hair falls out fast. E' Surely get a 25 -cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store and just try it. rr•-.. & Co. opt NOF Manufactured by THE WILLIAMS PIANO Co., LIMITED, Oshawa, Ont.
