Ah I what relief. No more tired feet; no more burning feet; no more swollen, perspiring feet. No more pain in corns, hard skin, bunions, chilblains. No matter what ails your feet or what under the sun you've tried without getting relief, just use TIZ. TIZ is the f'nly remedy that draws out all the poisonous exuuations which puff up the feet; TIZ - is m_agical; TI 'Z is grand ; TIZ will cure your foot troubles so that you'll never limp or draw up your face in pain. Your shoes won't seem tight and your feet will never, never hurt or get sore, swollen, or tired. Think of it, no more foot misery.

For a shilling )-OU can t~ave your hair. In less than ten minutes you can double its beauty. Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant, and appears as soft, lustrous and charming as a young girl's after applying some Danderine. Also try this-moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through yo.ur hair, taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hail: of dust, dut, or excessive oil, and in just a fe'v moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair. A delightful surprise awaits those whose hair has been neglected or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or thin. Besides beautifying the hair, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invigorates the scalp, for ever stopping itching and falling' hair, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks' use, when you ~e new hair-fine and downy at first­ yes-but really new hair growing all over the scalp.
