Try This If You
Have Dandruff
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, 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 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 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. Advertisement.
