constitutes il prime remedy for sores,
ulcers, ruts; sprains, scaids, bruises, and
in fact every abnormal condition of the
cutiele attended by inflammation, swelling
or itching. Ladies moving in our best so
ciety speak of its beautifying properties in
enthusiastic terms, and give it decided
preference to cosmetics which merely n.
ceal but do not, like Glenn's Sulphur Soap
eradicate defects of the complexion. The
use of ointments for eruptive complaints
is to be deprecated because of their having
tendency to clog the pores and IN some
cases to aggrayate rather than remedy tut
disease. They are besides. seldom
thorough enough in their effects to preven
