The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely and
that is TO dissolve IT, This destroys II
entirely. To doI>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 il 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 in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy. silky and soft, and look
and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. II is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known to
fail. (Adv.)
