Combing Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan.
druff is to dissolve it. then you destroy
1t entirely To do this, get about -four
ounces Of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
1t at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it IN
gently with tho 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 it, no matter how much dan.
druff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp viii stop at
once. and your hair viii be fluffy, lus-
trous. glossy, silky and soft. and look
and feel a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.
