 It is idle to make promises without performance, and it is folly to make claims that do not rest upon the firm foundation of basic truth. The pro- pTietors of E. L. NJ Ointment, "The Healer of Skin Diseases" know that this prepara ton is accomplishing won- ders in the treatment of skin diseases. The following testimonial is evidence of what E. L. M. Ointment does: "2 little child, IS months old, had sores break out all over his face, arms limbs and body, from head to feet; he was a complete mass of sores, many of which were quite large. He cried con- stantly day and night until was near ly worn off my feet. The family doctor advised me to consult a specialist and I brought my child to three of them in Boston, and they failed to give him even temporary relief. A friend ad- vised me to try E. L. M. Ointment, which I did, and after two weeks treatment all the sores were completely healed and his skin restored to it's healthy condition. He now eats and sleeps as a contented child should. am positivelyy sure that F. l.. M. Oint- ment saved my child's life. (Signed.) Mrs. Rafaele Mau-iello." P. L. NJ. Ointment is a highly effective remedy for all diseases of the skin. Price 25c. All druggists.
