To Overcome Eczema
Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying a little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 25c Ex
tra large bottle, $1.00. Healing begins
the moment zemo is applied. In a short
time usually every trace of eczema, tet
ter, pimples, rash, black beads and sim
ilar skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zerno, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.
