The only sure way to get rid Of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
lit entirely. To do this, get about foul
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in gent.
ly with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gorR, and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair win be fluffy, lus-
trous, 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.
