Sure Way To Get
Rid Of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This des-
troys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to mois-
ten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most IL not all. of
your dandruff will be gone. and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve. 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
instantly, 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
four ounces is all you will need.
, This simple remedy has never been
known to fail.
