you don't.
1t doesn't do mucl, good to try to
comb or wash it out. The only
sure way to get rid of dandruff is
to dissolve it; then you destroy it en-
tirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary 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 applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign ard trace Of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
