of infection, For three months he was
treated with vaccine and for time
left the hospital with instructions how
TO avoid infeo ting others. His back,
however, panied him so that three
months ago he again returned for

SAYS SULPHUR
DRIVES ECZEMA
FROM THE SKIN
Use Like Cold Cream to
Instantly Stop Itch
ing and Clear
the Skin

Sulphur, says a renowned dermatol
ogist, Just common bold-sulphur made
into a thick cream will soothe and heal
the skin when irritated and broken out
with Eczema or any form of eruption
The moment it is applied all itching
ceases and after two or three applica.
tions the Eczema disappears, leaving
the skin clear and smooth.
He tells Eczema sufferers to get from
any good pharmacy an ounce of bold
sulphur cream and apply it to the irri-
tated parts the same as you would any
cold cream.
For many years common bold sulphur
has occupied secure position in the
practice of .dermatology and cutaneous
affections by reason of its parasite-de-
stroying property. 1t is not only para
siticidal. but also antipruritic. anti
septic and remarkably healing in all
irritable and inhammatory conditions
of the skin. While not always effecting
a permanent cure it never fails to in
stantly subdue the angry itching and
irritation and heal the Eczema right
up and it is often years later before
any eruption again appears on the skin
