double strength othine; it is this that

DANDRUFF SOON
 RUINS THE HAIR
Makes It Lifeless, Dull, Dry,
 Brittle and Thin.

Girls-if you want plenty of thick, beautiful glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruf is to dissolve 1t, then yoa destroy it entirely To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when re- tiring use enough 10 moisten the scalp and rub 1t in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandrutt will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of 1t.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop and your hair will be silky, fluffy lustrous, soft, and look and feel a hundred times bet ter. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store It is inexpensive and four ounces is an you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have, This simple remedy never fails,
