Night and Morning D. D. D. Hair and Scalp Relief
In my practice I found one sure way to relieve scalp irritations. Falling hair dandruff and other scalp troubles can be stopped quickly by applying D D D liquid on the scalp at night and in the morning for a few days. Rub in thoroughly.

At all drug stores or D D Laboratory Batavia Illinois.
