!. DANDRUFF
A Sure Way to End 1t

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely,
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys 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 molsten
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 completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every sim
gle 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 hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store and four ounces is all you
will need. This simple remedy never
| fails.-Advelt iSement.
