Combing Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruff

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,
Dc this tonight, and BY morning,
most, il 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 it, no matter how
much dandruff 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.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work, ADV,
