MANY 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,
Its soothing, antiphlogistic action con-
stitutes it prime remedy for sores,
ulcers, cuts. sprains, scalds, bruises,
and in fact every abnormal condition
of the cuticle attended by inf1amma
ton, swelling or itching. Ladies

terms, and give it decided preference
to cosmetics which merely conceal but
do not, like GLENN'S SULPHUR SOAP.
eradicates defects of complexion. The
use of ointments for eruptive COM
plants is to be deprecated because of
their having a 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 It's cleanliness. 1t
is besides, an admirable disinfectant
of clothing which has been worn by
persons afflicted with diseases of a con
tagious nature. As specific proven
tive and promoter of general health it
presents advantages of the most I'm

Before Messrs. Lawrence & Co., the New
York bankers, inaugurated the combina-
ton system of operating in stocks, it was
often very difficult for inexperienced oper-
ators, or even old stagers, to deal proftably
by their single handed ventures. Now
the field is open to every one for successful
operations, and capital in any amount,
from $40 to $4,000, can be used with
equal proportionate profit. Instead of
distracting efforts among many customers,
the orders of thousands are concentrated
into one vast pool and co-operated for the
benefit of all, dividing profits pro rata
every month. A prominent citizen of San
Francisco made $2,264,S3 from an invest
ment of $500 last mouth. Other custom
ers arc doing better still. $25 pays 1925
