STOPS SCALP ITCH.
Dandruff and Every Form of Scalp
Disease Cured Quick by Zemo.

1t is simply wonderful how Zemo
goes after dandruff. You rub little
of it in with the tips of the fingers.
1t gets right down into the glands,
stimulates them, stops the itch, and
makes the head feel fine. No, it isn't
sticky! Zemo is a fine, clear, vanish
ing liquid. You don't have to even
wash your hands after using Zemo.
And what wonder it is for Eczema,
rash, pimples and all skin Affections.
A 25 cent trial bottle at Bell & Rob-
inson's drug store is guaranteed to
stop any skin irritation.
Zemo is prepared by E. w: Rose
Medicine Co., St. Louis, Mo-, and is
regularly sold by druggists at 81 a
bottle. But to prove what it will do
at trif1ing expense, Zemo is now put
up in rs cent trial bottles.
