Relief from, Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
akin troubles. You can have q clear.
healthy skin by using q little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for Csc, or
extra large bottle at $1.OO.
Zemo generally removes pimples. black
heads, blotches, eczema, and ringwor1n
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antiseptic
liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and stains
nothing. 1t is easily applied and costs a
mere trif1e for each application. It is
always dependable.
