PIMPLES
Why so many young men anil
especially otherwise beautiful women
allow their faces to be disfigured
with unsightly pimples is beyond me,
says Peterson.
Every druggist in America who
cares to speak freely will tell you
that one 25c box of Peterson's Oint
ment is guaranteed to banish every
pimple or other skin eruption, or
money back and it won't take
more than 10 days to do It.
The mighty healing power of Peter
son's Ointment in skin diseases.
Eczema. Salt Rheum, Sore Nipples,
Old Sores, Ulcers. Varicose Ulcers,
blind, bleeding and itching plies, is
almost beyond belief and the small
price puts It within reach of all.
Dr. W. Burg, of Erie, Pa., writes:
"I had suffered with Eczema of the
left ear and scalp for over 25 vears
but a small box of Peterson's 'Oint
ment has entirely eradicated it." All
druggists are authorized to guaran
tee it.
