 Small Quantities.

Since its discovery one year ago, the new drug, poslam has successfully cured thousands of chronic cases of eczema and other distressing skin afflictions. Here tofore poslam has been dispensed solely for the benefit of eczema patients in large jars sufficient for a months treat ment This was found to be an ineon- venience to many thousands who use t for minor skin troubles, such as pimples, blackheads. herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes itching feet, piles, etc, which require but small quantity to cure.
