Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. Then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; 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 two or three more appli-
cations 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
lustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better
