Dandruff And Itching
Scalp Yield To
Zemo Treatment

Why should you continue to exper-
iment with salves, greasy lotions and
fancy hair dressings trying to rid
your scalp of germ life. They can't
do it because they cannot
penetrate to the seat of the trouble
and draw the germ life to the sur
face of the scalp and destroy it.
Why not try PROVEN REMEDY
One that will do this. We have rem
edy that will rid the scalp of germ
life and in this way will cure DAN
DRUFF and ITCHING SCALP.
This remedy is ZEMO, a clean, re-
fined, penetrating scalp tonic that goes
right to the seat of the trouble and
drives the germ life to the surface and
destroys it.
A shampoo with ZEMO (ANTISEP-
TIC) SOAP and one application of
ZEMO will entirely rid the scalp of
Dandruff and scurf Do not hesitate,
but get a bottle of ZEMO today. 1t
acts on new principle and will do
exactly what we claim for it.

Successful Complexion
Renewing Treatment.
(JOurnal of Hygiene)

A treatment for sallow. muddy or
blotchy compilations that is always
successful Is the nightly application
of plain mercolized wax for from one
to two weeks. This method is sure to
succeed for the simple reason that it
literally takes off and discards the
old complexion. The incredible in
the wax possesses the peculiar pro-
perty of absorbing the wornout, faded
or discolored surface skin. with all it's
imperfections. This is done so grad
ually. the skin coming off little each
day. in fine. almost invisible particles,
that no inconvenience or discomfort
is experienced-and the most careful
observer cannot detect the use of this
treatment.
The mercolized wax, which can be
had at any drugstore. is applied the
same as cold cream, but not rubbed
in. and washed off in the morning
The new complexion produced in this
way. exhibiting the true beauty Of
health. is not to be compared with the
kind made by cosmetics.
