Locking the stable after the horse is stolen is about as sane an act as trying to grow hair after the head is bald. If the hair root be absolutely dead, permanent baldness will be your lot, and you might as well cheer up and tell your friends that it isn’t so bad after all, as to bemoan your fate. But if your hair is just beginning to thin out; if th e \\\ II I /// / thought occurs t 0 you that in a year or two —/1—1.77-'. you can take x your Beat ln aaC-S the fialdheaded V / row without Ar\ P* being asked for / cre.de ntials, then you’ve got a chance, and a great big chance. If your hair is falling out or thinning out, don’t wait another day; go to Holthouse Drug Co. the druggist, and get a bottle of Parision Sage, the most efficient hair grower the world has ever known. Don’t say, "It’s the same old story; I've heard it before,” but try a bottle at Holthouse Drug Co.'s risk. They guarantee Parisian Sage to grow hair, to stop falling hair, to cure dandruff, and stop scalp itch in two weeks, or money back. Parisian Sage Is th e most invigorating hair dressing made. It is antiseptic; it kills all odors that are bound to arise Drom excretions of the scalp during the hot months, and every one knows that sage is very cooling to the scalp. Parisian Sage is a prime favorite with discriminating ladies, because it makes the hair lustrous and luxuriant. Get a large bottle from Holthouse Drug Co. for only 50 cents, or by express. all charges prepaid, from the American makers, Giroux Mfg. Co., Buffalo, N. Y. NOTICE FOR BIDS.
