Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using Zemo, obtained
at any drug store for 35c, or extra large
bottle at Sl.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples'
blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring,
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t IS easily
applied and costs mere trifie for each
application. 1t is always dependable.
