Combing Won't Rid
Hair Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this, get about
four ounces Of ordinary liquid arvon !;
apply it ct night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight. and " morning.
most II not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more appli-
cations 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 will stop at
once. and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous. 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.
