Try This if You
Have Dandruff
Or Are Bothered With Falling
Hair or Itching Scalp.

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
Ely morning most, if not all of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of ii, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft and
look and feel a hundred times better.
If you want to keep your hair
looking rich, do by all means get
rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys
the hair so quickly. 1t not only
starves the hair and makes II fall
out, but it makes it stringy. straggly,
dull, dry. brittle and lifeless, and
everybody notices it. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. II
is inexpensive and four ounces is
all you will need. This simple rem
F edy has never been known to fail.
