Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have clear,
healthy skin by using Zemo, obtained
at any drug store for Csc, or extra large
bottle at S1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimple3

antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs mere trifle for each
application. 1t is always dependable.

so wonderfully till l tried Mrs.

Thousands of other women are
getting equally marvellous re-
suits from this preparation. II
is a simple matter to restore
