WATCH ,POSLAM
SUBDUE AND HEAL
WORST ECZEMA

Every Eczema sufferer should know
just how greatly Poslam is able to
benefit this persistently stubborn trou-
Bile; how quickly it brings relief, stops
itching: cools, soothes and comforts.
To spread Poslam over an angry, af-
fected surface is to feel that here, in
reality, is the precise healing influence
the skin demands. Treatment is usual
ly surprisingly short and improvement
may be noticed every day. Poslam is
harmless; use it for Pimples, Rashes
and all eruptional disorders.
Sold everywhere. For free sample
