IT Is ASTONISHING with what rapidity ulcer
Gus sores and eruptive maladies are cured by
HENRY's CARBoLIC SALvE, an external anti
dote to unhealthy conditions of the skin which
is preferred by physicians to every other pre-
paration containing the carbolic element. 1t
is undoubtedly the finest antiseptic and puri-
fer extant. 1t acts like charm on purulent
eruptions and has also been successfully used
for rheumatism and sore throat. All Druggists
sell it.
