If PEsTERED by an Eruption, use
GLENN's SULPHUR Soar, the ruling speci-
fc for disease, irritation and abrasions of
the skin, and a most salutary beautifer of
the complexion. This admirable article is
an inexpensive substitute for sulphur baths,
and is equally as effective in banishing
cutaneous maladies, and relieving the
pangs of rhematism and govt. Redness
and roughness, tan, freckles, pimples, and
indeed every imperfection of the cuticle is
entirely removed by it. 1t is svouched,
by ladies who have used, to be the most
effective means of clarifying and softening
the skin that they have ever employed; its
health promoting properties are widely
recognized by medical men. and evidence
in its behalf, emenating from other and
equally respectable sources, precludes any
reasonable doubt as to the genuineness of
its claims to public confidence. Clothing
and linen from the sick room are disinfect-
ed by it, and it prevents contagion when
the danger of obnoxious disease has been
incurred by contact. Sores and ulcers,
that resist the operation Of salves and To-
tions, are healed by it, and it soon relieves
the swelling and pain caused by bruises
and sprains. The opening of the pores
resulting from the wholesome stimulation
of the superficial blood vessels that it pro-
duces, is the effect best calculated to ease
the circulation when overheated, and carry
those offensive granulations which disfgure
the cuticle and render existence a state oil
martydom while they remain. Eruptions
ailments that ointnents will not cure, are
entirely eradicated by GLENNs SULPHUR
Soar.
