Sw DIneovry Cores Eczema mad
Eradicate Minor Skin Trouble Over Msbt.
A few months ago the dispensers o
poslam, the new discovery for the cur
of eczema, decided to allow the drug'
gists of the country to handle it. Pre vlous to that time it could only be ob
tair.ed direct from the laboratories.
Since this change !n the method of distribution, poslam has met with the most .phenomenal success of anything Introduced to the drug trade in the last
!0 years. All leading druggists, includ
ing j. w. weis in Hammond, are now
carrying the special 50-cent size re
cently adopted, also the $2 jar.
This great success Is not surprising "when it is remembered that. In eczema
cases, poslam stops the itching with
first application, proceeds to heal im
mediately, and cures chronic cases in
few weeks. In minor skin troubles,
sucn as pimpies, Diackneacs. acne,
herpes, blotches, rash, etc, results show
after an overnight application. Ex
