Kills the Germ
In the sensational research that established the Pityrosporum ovale germ as the cause of dandruff, it was positively proved that Listerine kills the germ.
When a mid-western skin clinic instructed dandruff patients to use the daily Listerine Treatment, a substantial number obtained marked relief within the first two weeks on the average.
76% of a group of dandruff sufferers at a New Jersey Clinic, who used the Listerine treatment twice daily, showed complete disappearance of, or marked improvement in, the symptoms within thirty days.
Start Treatment Today
Don't waste time on ordinary remedies that merely wash away dandruff symptoms temporarily. Start ridding your scalp of the dandruff germ with Listerine today.
And remember, like any other germ disease, dandruff is a stubborn malady requiring persistent treatment. Even after it has been cured, it is wise to guard against re-infection by occasional Listerine Antiseptic massages at regular intervals.

THE TREATMENT
Once or twice a day, use full Strength Listerine on the scalp, spreading it with fingers, or parting the hair and applying with cotton or eye dropper.
Now massage scalp vigorously and persistently with fingertips; active stimulation of the scalp is highly important in dandruff treatment.
If scalp is excessively dry, use a little olive oil in conjunction with Listerine. Listerine will not blench the hair.
P. S. Listerine, which has been discovered to be such an excellent germicidal treatment for dandruff, is the same Listerine Antiseptic which has been used as a mouth wash and gargle for years.
