Dandruff is a contagious dimue
. caused by a microbe, which if not

microbe often comes from a comb
.. or brush belonging to someone else.
" If you are troubled with dandruff;
tehing scalp, falling hauvor baldness,
we believe tha Kexall "93'; Hair
Tonic will do more than anything els -to
remove the dandruff, destroy the ,
germ, make the scalp healthy and
stop falliiut hair. and. if there is any .
life left in the roots, also promote
growth of new hair. .
