With trepidation as to a possible epidemic oi ine uweaae, Dr. Parrish rushed early to the scene of action. Instead of the scarlet fever. three well-developed cases of poison oak were discovered by the guardian of the city's health. The three children had forgotten there was such a thing as poison oak in their mad efforts to catch a close view of the birdmen and their planes at Mock's bottom." If the mothers of tnese children naa had a bottle of Santiseptic .Lotion at hand and had applied it, they would have been spared the apprehension caused by the supposed visitation of a dreaded disease. Santiseptic is magi cal in its results in cases of oak or Ivy poisoning; it allays instantly the itching and the irritation. After a few applications the eruption and discol oration of the skin entirely disappear. Santiseptic also heals quickly and eas ily other Irritations of the skin, such as fever and cold sores, chafing, sun burn, windburn and the eruptions and inflammation caused by Insect bites.
