The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails TO remove dandruf completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de
stroys it entirely To do this. just
get about four ounces of plain, or
binary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub 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
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 in
stantly, 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
