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, blackheads 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. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, 500. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
