For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin SOFT
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pin'
pies, rashes, blacl1heads. in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo IS a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only Csc; an extra
large bottle, $1.OO. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
