HE PLAYS BASEBALL FROM THE BLEACHERS ... YET HE HAS “ATHLETE’S Foot,” E practically runs the team from his scat. “Watch that bunt,” you hear him yell. “Cover second on that throw “sid-e"—his lungs get all the exercise, but his feet would feel strange in “spikes.” Yet this hard-playing member of the Bleacher Brigade has a well. defined case of “Athlete's Foor.” He is bothered by a dry, scaly con- dition of the skin between his toes, with itch-i-n-g.® It's a nagging infection and seems to be getting worse every day, but he doesn’t know what it istor how to get rid of it And be is only one of millions of Americans who bare the ringworm infection, commonly called "Athlete's Foot,”” and who wonder what it is! *Many Symptoms for the Same Disease—So Easily Tracked into the Home “Athlete's Foot” may start in a number of different ways,* but it is now generally agreed that the germ, tinea trichophyton, is back of them all. It lurks where you would least expect it—in the very places where people go for health and recreation and cleanliness. In spite of modern sanitation, the germ abounds on locker- and dressing-room floors—on the edges of swimming pools and showers—in gymnasiums—around bathing beaches and bath-houses—even on hotel bath-mats. And from all these places it has been tracked into countless homes until today this ringworm infection is simply everywhere. The United States Public Health Service finds "It is probable that at least one-balf of all adults suffer from it at some time."' And authorities WATCH FOR THESE DISTRESS SIGNALS THAT WARN OF “ATHLETE'S FOOT” Though “Athlete's Foor” is caused by the germ— tinea trichophyton—its early stages man fest themselves: in several different ways, usually berween the tocs— sometimes by redness, sometimes by skin-cracks, often by tiny itching blisters. The skin may turn white, thick and moist, or it may develop dryness with litte scales. Any one of these calls for immediate treatment! \f the case appears aggravated and does not readily yield toAbsorbine Jr.,consult your physician without delay Absorbin say that half the boys in high school are affected.
