IF SKIN BREAKS OUT,
IS FIERY, ITCHY OR
ROUGH, USE SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Men
tho Sulphur to an itching, burning
or broken out skin, the itching stops
and healing begins, says a noted
skin specialist. This sulphur prepa-
ration, made into a pleasant cold
cream. gives such a quick relief, even
to fiery eczema, that nothing has
ever been found to take its place.
Because OF its germ destroying
properties, 1t quickly subdues the
itching. cools the irritation and heals
the eczema right up, leaving clear,
smooth skin in place of ugly erup-
uons, rash, pimples or roughness.
lou do not have to wait for i'm
proyement. II quickly shows. You
