Blotches, Fever Blisters.
The little blotches, itching
spots, discolorations, pimples, fe-
yer blisters, ETC., which appear on
the skin at this time of the year,
indicate thai the pores are over
taxed in their work of helping

poslam applied as soon as these
troubles show will cause them to
quickly disappear, leaving the
skin in perfect condition to per-
form its duties.
In skin troubles of every form,
affecting both infants and adults,
poslam produces beneficial results
from first application, stopping
all itching at once. Eczema, ache,
herpes, letter and similar diseases
yield to it readily, Poslam is non
greasy, flesh-colored and cannot
be detected in the daytime. When
used for scaly scalp, dandruff,
boils, sores, chatting, hives, etc.,
1t drives away soreness and cures
