If SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Mentho-
Sulphur to an itching, burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says a noted skin spe-
cialist 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 its germ-destroying prop
critics, it quickly subdues the itching,
cools the irritation and heals the eczema
right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin
in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pin-
pies or roughness.
You do not have to wait for improve
ment. 1t quickly shows. You can get

was decided to appoint n committed

OF so amending the present bylaws
