Try This If You
Have Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
Is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon !:
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to rloisten 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 it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that 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.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store 1t is inexpensive, and four ounces
is all you will need. This simple rem
-dy has never been known to fail.
