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 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 itehing and digging of the scalp will stop in- stantly, and your hair will /be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look* and Teel a hundred times bet- ter. ag You can get liquid a}von at any drug store.
