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

1t is simply wonderful how Zemo
goes after dandrutf. You rub a
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
iine. No, it isn't sticky! Zemo
IS a fine, clear, vanishing liquid.
You don't have to even wash your
hands after using Zemo. And
what a wonder it is for eczema,
rash, pimples and all skin affiic-
lions. A 25-cent trial bottle at
Il. X. & F. l.. Wier's Drug Store
IS guaranteed to stop any skin ir-
ritation.
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 tritilng expense, Zemo is now
put up in 25-cent trial bottles.
