relieves
poison ivy
l Zonite is a specific in the
treatment of poison ivy. Al-
though this affliction is rarely
serious in itself it is most
irritating and there is great
danger of infection wherever
the skin is broken. Zonite
not anly relieves the inflam-
mation and irritation in a re-
markably short time but also
keeps the skin in a safely dis-
infected condition. If at all
susceptible to poison ivy you
shoiadn’t be without a bottle
of Zonite. Your druggist has
it in bottles—fifty cents and
one dollar.

NOW INDORSING IT
Popular Actor Says the
Plant Juice Does Every-
thing That Is Claimed.
Mr. Harry I'eldman. one of the
most popular and best known vaude-
ville comedy artists in the south
who is now filling an engagement
at a San Antonio theater is the
latest prominent man of this city
to publicly indorse Plant Juice.
MR. HAKBY FELDMAN
“For several years I had been
troubled with my liver and kidneys.”
said Mr. Feldman a few days ago
while talking with The Plant Juice
Man who is introducing Plant Juice
at Sommers drug store Houston and
Navarro streets.
“It finally got so that my kidneys
caused severe pains in my back and
this made it a hardship for me to
appear before an audience and ‘do
my stuff’ as the actors say. And
in addition I would be awakened by
my kidneys during the night so that
I could not get a good night’s sleep.
My liver was torpid and sluggish
and as a result I felt tired out most
of the time. And of late my appe-
tite had not been good and the food
I ate did not have the right taste.
All of this worried me so that I
became run down in general.
“But I will say that your Plant
Juice surely has changed these con-
ditions and in fact it has proven to
me beyond a doubt that it does
everything that is claimed. I have
a fine appetite now and the food I
eat has the right taste. And my
liver and kidneys are greatly im-
proved so that the pains in my back
are gone and I am able to sleep
well and in short am simply feel-
ing fine. When it comes my time
to go on the stage now I really
feel like going through with my work
and get a great deal of pleasure out
of it and I am glad to recommend
Plant Juice to everybody for I know
it surely relieved my health trouble.”
The Plant Juice Man is at Som-
mers drug store. Houston and Na-
varro streets San Antonio where
ne is daily meeting the local public
and introducing and explaining the
merits of this regiedy. Free sam-
ples given.
Plant Juice is sold also in San
Antonio at all of the other Som-
mers drug stores.

PEOPLE WHO WERE
ONCE GOOD LOOKING
A heartrending and yet interest-
ing thing happened in a downtown
store when a middle-aged lady got
into a loud argument with a clerk.
"I know what I want” she kept
saying. “I have tried all those
other things but I know from what
I saw it do for some friends of mine
that it is Black and White Oint-
ment which gets rid of these pimples
and blotches. I was just as pretty
as any girl when I was young but
I got careless and now I am in the
fix you see.”
So many people are now insist-
ing on Black and White Ointment
and Black and White Soap to get
rid of pimples blotches eczema
rash tetter ringworm “breaking
out” etc because they see and hear
of the thousands of others who now
know they can depend upon it.
And they are more economical too.
The 50c size Ointment contains
three times as much as the liberal
25c size. AU dealers have both the
Ointment and Soap.
