This des troys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, or dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to mois ten, the scalp and rub it 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 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 fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store, it is inexpensive, and four ounces Is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail. 25cXLf jASlte For Colds, Crip and Influenza Call at Geo. A. Gorgas' 3 Stores for a box of King'* Antiseptic Catarrh Cream.
