SAYS SULPHUR IS SURE TO RELIEVE
 ITCHING ECZEMA
Get an ounce Of boId-sulphur cream and heal skin erup-
 tioas right up.

Any breaking out or irritation on the face. arms, legs or body when &C., companied by itching. or when the skin is dry and feverish, can be read fly overcome by applying a little bold sulphur cream, says noted derma- tologist.
 He informs us that bold-sulplnur in- stantly allays the angry itching and irritation and soothes and heals the Eczema right up leaving the skin clear and smooth. BoId-suIphur has occupied a secure position for many years in the treatment of cutaneous disorders because of it's paraSite-deS- troying property. Nothing has ever been found to take it's place in treat ing the irritable and inflammatory skin affections. While not always es- tab1ishing a permanent cure it never fails to subdue the itching irritation 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 sulphur cream which is applied to the af- fected parts in the same manner as an ordinary cold cream. 2t isn't un- pleasant and the prompt relief af- forded, particularly in itching Ec- za1aaS Hx0vas 5saEE We1eas7aA--AAx.
