IF SKIN BREAKS OUT AND ITCkES
 APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Men tho Sulphur to ar itching, burning or /; broken out skin, the itching stops and Naling begins, says noted skin specialist. This sulphur preparation, made into pleasant cold cream, gives such quick relief, even to fiery eczema, that nothing has ever been found to take its place.
 Because of it's germ destroying properties, it quickly subdues the itching. cools the irrtat tion and heals the eczema right up. leaving q clear, smooth skin in place of ugly erup- tions, rash. pimples or roughncss.
 You do not have to wait for inn provement. It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Rowles Mcntho- Sulphur at any drug store.
