The agonizing itching ana ournlng of

and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled
head; the facial dishgurements, as ia

stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil

power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent cure,
the absolute safety and great economy,
have made them the standard skin

surface of crnsts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
