To ever- come this. and in response to urgent appeals, the dispensers of polsam have been obliged to adopt, in addition to the regular two-dollar package. a spe- cial fifty-cent size. which in future may be found on sale at E. c. Fowisr's and other leading drugstores in Mont gomery. or may he ordered direct from the Emergency Laboratories. No. 32 West 25th street. New York City. In all eczema cases poslam stops itching with first application. and proceeds to heal immediately; chronic cases being cured in two weeks.
