Washing Won't Rid ,
Head Of Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then yon
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morninp-,
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
mreh dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that a", itching
and digging of the Ecaln will stop
at once, 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
never fails to do the work Adv.
Many Men Who
Would Resent a
Blow, Cringe be
fore a Sneer.
The sneer is the coward's weapon. It is nine parts envy and
one part hatred yet it carries fear and dread to the heart of
the average man and if there be a streak of yellow in his
make up it comes to the surface at the mere thought of being
snubbed or laughed at. 1
I realize that when competition is keen some men lose their
heads and in so doing lose their stride and eventually the
race.
I
I
I realize that even an Indian resents the encroachment of
civilization upon what he considers his own reservation.
I am therefore neither surprised nor alarmed that opposition
has developed to myself and my methods by some very
high but narrow-minded gentlemen who see in my system
of Specialized Dentistry the end of exorbitant dental prices.-'
The same thing has happened elsewhere and my bitter
critics of former days are now among my Warmest friends
and staunch advocates.
It will happen again in Omaha because time will prove my
sincerity and the correctness of my theories that
Systematizing, Specializing and Advertising, invariably tends
to bring the cost 'of Dental services within the reach of all
the people and at the same time raises the standard of
dental services to a higher plane than would be possible other
wise. My success since coming to Omaha has been gratifying Be
sure it will not be delayed because of the disapproval of those
who do NOT understand me nor of those who DO.
