Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

II 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 1t If you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. 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 re-
firing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub It in gently with the finger
tips.
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 1t.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. It is inexpensive and
four ounces is all you will need, no mat
Ter how much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy never fails.
