A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
tailed TO remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid aryon
from any drug store (this is all you will
nccd), apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to nloisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
by morning, most if not all OF your
dandrlH 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 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 hundred
times better.
