If you care for heavy hair, that

Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme

heavy’, healthy hair If you have dan

hair of its lustre, its strength and its

HEADACHE. COLD OR SOUR STOMACH,
REGULATE YOUR BOWELS—IB CENTS
Sick headaches! Always trace them
to lazy liver; delayed, fermenting food
in the bowels or a sick stomach.
Poisonous, constipated matter, gases
and bile generated in the bowels, in
stead of being carried out of the sys
tem, is reabsorbed into the blonu.
When this poison reaches the deli
cate brain tissue it causes congestion
and that dull, sickening headache.
