for GLENNs SULPHUR SOAP, which is just as bene-

OF It's Deautfying properties in enthusiastic terms
and give it decided preference to cosmetics
which merely conceal but do not, like GLENN's Sui
PHUR SOAP, eradicate defects of the complexion
The use of ontments for eruptive complaints is to
be appreciated because of their having tendency
to clog the pores and in some cases to aggravate
rather than remedy the disease. They are besides
seldom thorough enough in their effects to prevent
the recurrence of eruptiOns of an inveterate type
and have the disadvantage of soiling the linen of
persons who use them GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP
on the contrary, radically cures the diseases to
which it is adapted and still further recommends
itself on account of its cleanliness 1t is besides
an admirable disinfectant of clothing which has
