hts arising from the use of Sulphur Baths,
IN cases OF skin disease, and of rheuma-
tlsm and 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 a sulphur
bath who has this admirable means of
providing one in doors. 1t is incom paraby
the deodorizer and disinfectant of clothing
and bed linen in use, and prevents diseases
OF an oonoxleus nature caused bycontact. So
