That itching, burning skm-truuble which keeps
yon scratching; and digging, is a source of ,di-
gust to others, as veil ai of torment to you.
Why don't you get rid of it by using Resinol
Ointment? Physicians have prescribed it for
many years. In most cases, it stops itching in
stantly and heals eruptions promptly. It is very
easy and economical to use. Acts even more
promptly If aided by Resinol Soap. ,
