Why SUBMIT TO THE DISCOMFORT, and
humiliation entailed by local disease of
the skin, when GLENN's SULPHER SOAP
will rid you of it with certainty and de-
spatch 1t is remedy which never fails
to relieve cutaneous disease, and, as a
means of banishing defects of the COM
plexion. it is equally reliable. The bene-
fits arising from the use of Sulphur Baths,
10 cases of skin disease, and of rheuma-
tlsm aud govt, are we'll known, but the
cost is too heavy to be incurred by many
persons who would otherwise take advan-
tage OF them. GLENN'S SULPHER SOAP
answers the same purpose. and is both
inexpensive and convenient. No one
need stir abroad in search of sulphur
bath who has this admirable means of
providing one in doors. 1t is incomparably
the deodorizer and disinfectant of clothing
and bed linen in use, and prevents diseases
OF an obnoxious nature caused bycontact So
res, ulcers, bruises. scalds cuts and sprains
arepromtly remedied by it; aud its clearly,
healing and soothing properties constitute
1t far more desirable remedy for scorbutic
ailments than continents of any description,

indeed do any permanent good.
