A sure WAY TO
END DANDRUFF
Stop Falling Hair and Itching
Scalp-At Once

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy II
entirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid a-von
from any drug store (tfis is all you will
ueed), apply it at night when retiring !;
use enough to rnoisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, OF your
1andruf will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
iandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
IF the scalp will stop instantly and your
lair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
! and soft, and look and feel hundred
lines better
If you value your hair, you should get
id of dandruff at once, for nothing
destroys the hair so quickly. It not only
tarves the hair and makes it fall out,
! nut it makes it stringy, straggly, dull,

notices it
