IF there is one thing that the

Elwood Haynes. pioneer motor car

Instead of facing an industrial

on the threshold of an era Of pros

readjusted ourselves to present

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sire 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 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 it, no matter how much,
dandruf 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
4 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
remedy has never been known to fail.
