Knowlton's Danderine Scalp Tonic
This product was distributed by the Knowlton Danderine Co., of Chicago. According to Urquhart it product was invented (1895) and patented (1908) by Sterling Products, of Ontario. The box on a later variant (3) mentioned the Sterling Products (Inc.) of Chicago and Wheeling, W.V. Knowlton's Danderine Co. itself was listed in Chicago from 1898 until 1909. It was probably then that they were bought out by Sterling Products. Danderine was still for sale at least as late as 1922 in the Montgomery Wards Catalog.

According to the label, the Danderine was 9% alcohol. The label also mentioned the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.
