FOR PIMPLEs, TOO
New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles
Overniqht,

A few months ago the dispensers Of
poslam, the new discovery for the cure
of eczema, decided to allow the drug
gists of the country to handle it. Pre-
vious to that time it could only be OBJ
tanned direct from the laboratories
Since this change in the method of
distribution, poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success of any
thing introduced to the drug trade in
the last 80 years. All leading drug
gists, including Coughlin's Pharmacy
In Augusta are now carrying the spe-
cial 50-cent size recently adopted, also
the 81 jar.
This great success is not surprising
when it is remembered that in eczema
cases, poslam stops the itching with
first application, proceeds to heal i'm
mediately, and cures chronic cases in
few weeks. In minor skin troubles,
such as pimples, blackheads, acne.
herpes. blotches. rash. etc, results
show after an overnight application.
Experimental samples of poslam are
sent to anyone by mail free of charge,
by the Emergency Laboratories. 80

Grape Nuts food is made of whole

for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these cereals.
1t contains also the phosphate OF

Nature uses to build up brain and

Young children require proportions
