IF SKIN BREAKS Just the moment you apply Mentho-Sulphur to an itching, burning or broken out skin, the itching stops and the healing be gins, says a noted skin specialist. This sulphur preparation, 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, it quickly subdues the itching, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leav ing a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or roughness. You do not have to wpit for improvement. It quickly shows. You can get,a little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur at tmy drug store.—(adv).
