There is one sure way that never fails

is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-

ounces OF plain. ordinary liquid arvon |;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub il

by morning, most ii not all. OF your
dandruff 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 muci,
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging OF the scalp will stop instantly.
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous'
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feei
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any druv
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This sinnIe
remedy has never been known to fail.
