Tor Aching 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
zerno, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, piIn-
pies, rashes. blackheads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blenishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zerno is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only CSC; an extra
large bottle, Sl0O. It viii not stain, Is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
