A PIMPLY SKIN
Apply Sulphur as Told When
Your Skin Breaks Out.
Any breaking out of. the skin
on face, neck, arms or body is
overcome quickest by applying
Mentho-Sulphur. The pimples
seem to dry right up and go
away, declares a noted skin spe
cialist.'
Nothing has ever been found to
take the place of sulphur as a
pimple remover. It is harmless
and inexpensive. Just ask any
druggist for a small jar of Row

like cold cream.—-(adv.)
