A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ommon liquid arvon
from any drug store (this is all you will
need), apply it at night when retiring ;
use enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruf 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 much
dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
Of the scalp will stop instantly and your
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy. silky
and soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.
