FIERY, ITCHY SKIN
QUICKLY SOOTHED
BY THIS SULPHUR


Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant cream,
will soothe and heal skin that is irri-
tated or broken out with eczema that
is covered with ugly rash or pimples,
or is rough or dry. Nothing subdues
fiery skin eruptions SO quickly, says a
noted skin specialist.
The moment this sulphur preparation
is applied the itching stops and after
two or three applications, the eczema
is gone and the skin is delightfully."- clear
and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as
skin remedy because it destroys the
parasites that cause the burning, itch
ing or Disagreement. Mentho-Sulphur
always heals eczema right up.

phur may be had at any good drug
