WASHING WON'T RID
HEAD OF DANDRUFF
Dissolve It, That's Best Way.

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most, If not all of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy, every single sign and
trace of 1t, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
If you want to preserve your hair,
do by all means get rid of dandruff,
for nothing destroys the hair more
quickly. 1t not only starves the hair
and makes it fall out, but it makes
it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle
and lifeless, and everyone notices it.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.

Harmless to flush Kidneys and neu-

for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid says a noted au-
thority The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder. where it often remains to If
ritate and inflame, causing a burning,
Scalding sensation, or setting up an ir-
ritation at the neck of the bladder,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the wa
ter passes sometimes with scalGing
sensation and is very profuse: again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it Is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast, continue this for
two or three days. This will neutral
ize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with
lithia, and Is used by thousands OF
folks who are subject to urinary dis
orders caused by uric acid irritation
Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferve
scent lithia-water drink, which quick
ly relieves bladder trouble.
