Dandruff Soon

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
TINS, get about four ounces OF ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
tiring use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub 1t in gently with the finger tips.
by morning, most if not all, OF your
dandrutt will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sgn 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 natter
how much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy never fails.
