It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash It out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis solve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of 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 ' tfiree or four more apnlications will 1 completely dissolve and entirely de stroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itch ing and digging of the scalp will ston, and your hair will 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, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. Adv.
