ITolIINc SKIN QUICKLY COOLED

Itching skin troubles some people
as soon as the hot weather comes.
There seems to be no preventive; but
when the trouble does break out, 1t Is
a very simple matter to stop that Itch
and to stop it instantly.
Just few drops of gentle winter
green lotion mixed with thymol end
washed over the eruption win soothe
and smooth 3he skin instantly, giving
that cooled, refreshing sensation.
Try a 25 cent bottle of this lotion
d. d. D. Prescription. It will stop the
itch, not in half an hour, not in ten
minutes but in i've seconds. II you
will call at our store, we will tell you
more of this d. D. D. compound.
