IUr33 Eczema, Salt Rheum and Totter, Leaving the Skin
Soft and Natural. Dr. Chase's Ointment.
As a means of allaying inflamma-
tion, relieving the dreadful itching
and healing arid =ring itching skin
diseases, ulcers and eruptions, we
believe tihat we can prove that Dr.
Ohaso's Ointment is the inost potent
preparation that it is possible to ob-
tain.
So many extreme cases have been
ottreld, so much intense and eolith -mod
agony has been relieved, and siucli
a host of people have volunteered
their evidence in this regard that we
challenge anyone to produce like on.,
dorsement. for any ointment or any
preparation whioh is reconunencled
for swill 'clisea.ses.
De% Chase's Ointment certainly
stands alone, unapproached anduri-
rivalled as a healer of the skin aid
p osi ti va cure for itching skin dis-
eases. 'Froth pimples to eczenea,
from chilblains to ulcers, each ankl
evnry forin of itching akin disease
has been dured by thj.s n-reat oint-
ment.

anything too good for Dr. Chase's.

recommend it because I know there
is nothing so good for itching skin."
