SIMPLE WAY TO
END DANDRUFF

There Is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve 1t,
then you destroy it entirely. To do
this, just get about four ounces of
plain. common liquid arvon from
any drug store tthis is all you will
need, apply 1t at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub 1t 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 dissolve and en-
tirely 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 in
stantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel hundred
times better.
