MANY DOLLAR formerly spent on

by substituting therefore GLENN's
SULPHUR SOAP, which is Just as bene-
ficial but infinitely cheaper. Local
and govt are all relieved by this STAN
dard remedy. ComplexiOnal blemish-
.es are eradicated by it, and it imparts
to the cuticle peariy whiteness and
and velvety sO4tness which greatly
enhance the effect of female charms.
It's soothing, antiphlogistic action con-
stitutes it a prime remedy for sores,
ulcers, cuts, sprains, scalds, bruises,
and in fact every abnormal condition
of the cuticle attended by inflamma-
ton, swelling or itching. Ladies
moving in our best society speak of its
identifying properties in enthusiastic
terms, and give it decided preference
to cosmetics which merely conceal but
do not, like GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP.
