To End Dandruff
L_ "T
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 moisten
the scalp and rub if 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 com
pletely 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 he fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
Took and feel a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drugstore. It is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.
