MANY A DOLLAR formerly spent on
expensive Sulphur Baths is now saved
by substituting therefore GLENN's
SULPHUR SOAP. which is just as bene-
fetal but infinitely cheaper. Local
diseases of the skin. rheumatism and
and govt are all relieved by this stan
dard remedy. Complexional blemish
es are eradicated by it, and it imparts
to the cuticle pearly whiteness and
and velvety softness which greatly
enhance the effect of female charms.
It's soothing, antiphlogistic action con-
stitutes it prime remedy for sores,
ulcers, cuts, sprains, scalds, bruises,

eradicates defects of complexion. The
use Of ointments for eruptive COM
plants is to be deprecated 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 recur-
renee 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, still further recommends
itself on account of Its cleanliness. 1t
Is besides, an admirable disinfeetant
of clothing which has been worn by
persons afflicted with diseases of con
tagious nature. AS a specific proven
tive and promoter of general health it
presents advantages of the most I'M
