There is one sure way that

completely and that is to dissolve
1t. This destroys 1t entirely. 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 fin
ger 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 1t, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch.
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly and your hair will

You can get liquid arvon at any

four ounces is all you will need.

been known to fail. adv"
