Poison. Oak

So bad is this demon of tor
ture that perhaps you are
contemplating seeing a doc
tor to get relief. Why have
you refused to use Tyree's
Antiseptic Powder for these
tormenting cases of Prickly
Heat, Poison Oak and Mos
quito Bites? The person who
does not use Tyree's Antisep-
tic Powder freely in these
cases deserves to be torment
ed. because the effect of Ty-
ree's Antiseptic Powder in
these irritating cases is al
most marvellous. One or two
tablespoons full dissolved in
a basin of water will relieve
you while you are applying
1t. When used in the same
dilutions its application is
very pleasant and noncau-
terizing.
For thirty years Tyree's
Antiseptic Powder has been
the accepted standard for per-
sonal hygiene. In small, me-
