 Senator Bristow of Kansas. who was one of Mir Gallinger's oppohents From the time that he was nominated during the last session by the republican caucus. has let 1t be known that the New Hamp- shire senator is just as objectionable 10 him now as he was last year and if . few other progressves hold out, theY can defeat the election. just as they did last season.

1--WE Prove It."

Every day ZEMO gives relief and
cures men, women and children IN

ing ECZEMA rashes and other Itch
ing, burning, scaly, and crusted skin

SOAP, two refined preparations will
give you such quick relief that you
will feel like a new person.
We give you three reasons why we
recommend and endorse ZEMO and
ZEMO SOAP for all skin and scalp
eruptions.
1st They are clean, scientific
preparations that give universal sat
isfaction and are pleasant and agree
able to use at all times.
End. They are not experiments,
but are proven cures for every form
of skin or scalp affections whether
on infants or grown persons.
3rd. They work on new princi-
pie. They do not glaze over the sur
face, but they penetrate to the seat
of the trouble and draw the germ
life from underneath the skin and
destroy it. In this way a complete
cure is effected in any case of SKIN
OR SCALP ERUPTION.
