F SKIN BREAKS OUT AND |TCHES
 APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Mentho-Sulphur to an itching, burn ing or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a noted skin specialist This sulphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such quick re- lief, even to fiery eczema, that noth- ing has ever been found to take its place.
 Because of it's germ destroying pro- perties, it quickly subdues the itch ing, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly erup- tions, rash, pimples or roughness.
 You do not have to wait for im- provement. It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Mentho-Sul- phur at any drug store.
