 PHUR CREAM AND HEAL SKIN ERUPTloNs RIGHT UP.

Any breaking out or irritation on the face. arms, legs or body when ac- campanied by itching, or when the skin is dry and feyerish, can be read fly overcome by applying a little bold sulphur cream. says noted derma1- ologist-
 He informs us that bold-sulphur in stantly a1lays the angry itching and irritation and soothes and heals the Eczema right up leaving the skin clear and smooth Bo1d-Sulphur has oc- cupied d secure position for many years in the treatment of cutaneous disorders because of it's parasite destroying property Nothing has ever been found to take it's place in treating the irritable and intiamma- tory skin affections While not al- ways establishing a permanent cure it never fails to subdue the itching irri- tation and drive the Eczema away and it is often years later before any eruption again appears on the skin
 Those troubled should obtain at any pharmacy an ounce of bold-supnur cream which is applied to the affected parts in the same manner as an ordi- nary cold cream. It isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief afforded, partic- ularly in itching Eczema, proves very welcome
