HEALING RELIEF FOR ' TORTURlNG ECZEMA

The Lee &. Osgoed Go. has sold hum
 dreds of jars of Hokara, and although
 they offered to refund the purchase price to any dissatisfied purchaser, not one jar has been returned. While this is surprising in itself, yet the most, marvellous thing is the re- ports of chronic cases of eczema that have been cured by this simple skin food. People who have suffered with scales. scabs and even bleeding itching have found relief in Hokara. No matter where the eczema, piH- pies or other breaking out occurs,
 whether on the face, hands, legs or
 body, the application of Hokara should give quick relief, and even the worst or
 most chronic cases should be cured in
 a short time.
 You can buy liberal-sized jar o-day
 at the very low price of 35c, and with every package goes The Lee & Osgood Ce.'s guarantee to -und the money if lls is not satisfactory.
