Nothing in the history of medicine has ev,er approached the success of the marvelous skin remedy known as, poslam, which, it is safe to say, has cured more cases of eczema and skin diseases than any remedy ever offered for these ills. The success of poslam la not at all surprising when it is considered that even a very small quantity applied to the skin stops itching immediately and cures chronic cases In two weeks. The very worst cases of eczema, as well as acne, herpes, tetter, piles, salt rheum, rash, crusted humors, scaly scalp and every form of Itch, yield to Vt readily. Blemishes such as pimples, red noses, muddy and inflamed skin disappear al most Immediately when poslam is ap plied, the complexion being cleared overnight. Every druggist keeps both the 50 cent size (for minor troubles) and the 32 jar. and either of these may be obtained In Portland at the Skidmore Drug Co. and W'oodard, Clarke & Co. as well as other reliable drug stores. But no one is even asked to pur chase poslam without first obtaining an experimental package which will be sent by mall, free of charge, upon re quest, by the Emergency Laboratories, 33 Wesi Twenty-fifth street.

Ferette, BEHOVES LOOS HUMORS NOT A DOLLAR NEED BE PAID UNTIL CURED The past century has witnessed wonderful progress in the science of medicine and surgery. Discoveries for the amelioration of pain and the cure of afflicted men, undreamed of years ago, are nor in use by the specialist who has kept himself abreast with the rapid advancement of the medical profession. This applies only to the specialist who was well prepared by ad vantages of study and experience in a chosen- field of medicine. It is unfortunate that all specialists who go by the name are not competent to do the work entrusted to them, hence the many failures that are made. Years ago doctors were supposed to charge as much for failures as for good results, but it is different with the up-to-date specialist of today, and my fee is a mere pittance compared with the results every patient receives in exchange: A man said the other day, "I would have come to you sooner but there are so many quacks and unreliables I have been afraid to try." Of course there are quacks and fakirs in every line of business from Portland, Me., to Portland, Or., and always will be, but because there are counterfeit coins in existence are you never to ac cept money on any account for fear of fraud ? x You don't have to accept the statements of every doctor you go to see. It's strange that men will take so much for granted. If banks did business that way there would be failures every day. For 31 years The St. Louis Medical Co., has been located at present address, over 27 years longer than any competitor in Portland. I have the most complete offices and my practice is double that of any other specialist in Portland. My references are the best banks and a generation of cured men. Nature has taken as much pains in forming the body of the ordinary citizen as an emperor, and you should be as careful with yours as an emperor is with his. Science of the present age has made it possible for you to get as good treatment at nominal cost as an emperor, re gardless of cost, and there are times when your system is as hungry, for the right kind of medicines as for food. By the latest and best methods I cure, to remain cured, Nervousness, Blood Poison, Skin Diseases, Sores and Ulcers, Varicose or Knotted Veins, Kidney and Bladder Diseases, Rheuma tism, Catarrh and Indigestion. I cover the entire field of Nervous, Blood and Skin Diseases, and cure to stay cured forever. If you take any Treatment, why not g'et the best to be had anywhere? The best will cost you no more. My consultation and advice is always free, whether you take treatment or not. If you cannot tall at office, write for self-examination blank. Many cases cured at home. Office hours, 9 A. M. to 8 P.
