Sunday Annie Oakley, THE WORLDS GREATEST LADY RIFLE SHOT USES AND RECOMMENDS Mewbros Herpicide The ORIGINAL remedy that "kills the dandruff germ. "Traveling as I do continuously, I have been troubled a great deal with dandruff and falling hair, and until I tried Herpicide I never found a remedy that was satisfactory.

Herpicide is a delightful preparation that fulfills the clais made for it, and no ladys toilet is complete without It I highly recommend It to my friends. (Signed) ANNIE OAKLEY. It Is certainly significant that Miss Oakley, the celebrated rifle shot and theatrical star, who has traveled so extensively abroad, should choose Newbros Herpicide as the most efficacious toilet remedy for the scalp. No one will doubt her opportunity to choose the best and those who have seen the natty and winsome Miss Oakley will not doubt her power of discrimination in matters of this sort. Newbros Herpicide is a scientific germicide and prophylactic for the hair and scalp, It destroys the germ or microbe that causes dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair, after which the hair will grow as nature Intended.

Extraordinary results follow the use of Newbros Herpicide. If your hair is dull, brittle or lustreless, dont wait until It begins to fall, but save it with Newbros Herpicide. In addition to its wonderful medicinal qualities, Newbros Herpicide is the daintiest and moBt delightfully refreshing hair dressing available. The first application proves its goodness. Try it.

Herpicide contains no grease. It will not stain nor dye. STOPS ITCHING OF THE SCALP INSTANTLY. 8end 10c In stamps for sample to THE HERPICIDE COMPANY, Dept. Detroit, Mich.
