Every reader of this article suffers, nr has at some time suffered, with tormenting skin irritation and it may return at any time. Doan’s Ointment will prove its worth. Read this:— Mrs C. Southam, Ariiey Street, Greymouth, says:—“For some time I suited from an irritating rash which resembled Eczema. It worried me a good deal, especially at night when I got heated, the irritation being then very trying. I used all sorts of remedies, but nothing seemed, to do me any good, in fact the rash seemed to bo spreading. One day someone advised me to try Doan’s Ointment and spoke so highly of the preparation that I sent for a pot. After a few applications I noticed an improvement, so I and one pot made a complete cure. It ishearly twelve months since I gave up using Doan’s) Ointment and I am pleased to tell you therd has been no return of the rash all that time.” Doan’s Ointment is sold by all chemists and store-keepers at 3s per pot, or will be posted on receipt of price by Foster-McClellan Co., 15 Hamilton Street, Sydney.
