Temperament Bothering You?

YOU CAN'T BRUSH OR
WASH OUT DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get rid OF
dandruff Is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of or
binary liquid arvon; apply 1t at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morn
ing, most II not all. Of your dand-
ruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
OF II, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop at once, 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
never fails to do the work.

Druggists Tell How
To Stop Indigestion
Recommends to stomach Suffer-
ers the Best Remedy in
Tacoma Today.

1T is a wonder some of us
have stomachs left" remarked a
well-known drug clerk recently.
while all drug stores sell a
score or more of stomach rene
dies for which there is a wide de-
mand, most of them are just pep
sin pills which aid or artificially
force digestion Of the food that
is in the stomach at the present
time. They have no curative or
Strengthening effect on the stom-
ach at all, and of course do not
reach or cure the cause. SO the
same people keep on coming here
and buying and using them until
they are real chronic dyspeptics.
When anyone really asks my adj
vice l swear by and recommend
ordinary bfsurated magnesia,
which doesn't digest the food at
all but acts as an antacid and
sweetens the sour, fermenting
contents of the stomach. That
stops the pain. heartburn, sour
rising, gas, bloating, fullness,
ETC., in Just a few minutes, and
the stomach digests its food with
out help or trouble, which is the
proper way.
"Of course there are many
kinds of magnesia but people who
have stomach trouble should in
sist on getting it in the form of
Bisurated Magnesia. This comes
in powdered form and in tablets
never as a liquid or milk. A
lot of bisurated magnesia is sold
in Tacoma. All druggists have IL
and a teaspoonful in a little wa
ter after every meal will quickly
relieve almost any case of acid
