Dandruff Surely
Destroys The Hair

Girls If you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid Of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you don't
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out 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 ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
tiring use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips
BY morning, most, if 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.
You will find, too that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop and your
hair will look and feel hundred times
better You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t Is inexpensive and four
ounces is all YOU will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.
