NO DOUBT THAT RESINOL
DOES STOP ITCHING

1t is fact that the moment resinol
ointment touches itching skins, the
itching stops and healing begins. With
the aid OF resinol soap, 1t almost al
ways clears away all trace of eczema,
summer rashes. pimples, or similar tor
menting, unsightly eruption quickly,
leaving the skin clear and healthy.
And the best of it is you need never
hesitate to use resinol soap and resi-
mol ointment. Resinol is a doctors
prescription which for twenty years
has been used by careful physicians
for many kinds OF skin affections.
They know that its soothing, healing
action is brought about by medication
so bland and gentle as to be suited to
the most delicate or irritated skin.
Resinol ointment and resinol soap are
sold by all druggists.-Adv.
