simple, early treatments.
If you have any evidence Of dan

Listerine, the safe antiseptic. It has
checked this huniliating condition for

it on full strength and massage the

over night. Keep it up systematically.
Within ten days you ought to see a
real improvement.
Listerine checks dandruff because
dandruff is a germ condition, and full
