Try this Remedy at our Risk.


 Children, and grown persons too, are so often driven almost frantic with the intolerable itching and burn ing of eczema and other skin trou- bles, that a remedy which will not only secure their immediate comfort. but also clear away the eruption in a short time. is nothing less than public benefit.
 It is remarkable that so mild and harmless an application as our new skin remedy, Saxo Salve, can stop the itching so quickly as it does
 And it's penetrating, healing power is even more remarkable, for inn provement is seen after the first few days and the final results must satis- fly the user or we refund the money. If you have any itching, or burning rash or humor of the skin, any scaly or chronic old skin trouble Saxo Salve is what you need and you should try this splendid remedy Broadway Pharmacy, G. G.
