Skin Injuries
quickly heal when treated with She-Ko. If the skin' is broken a light bandage should be applied with a thin layer of She-Ko, whilst in the case of bruises the injury may be rubbed with the ointment. Keep a tin of She-Ko in the house and you will be prepared for emergencies. It is equally good for the curative treatment of skin complaints.
SHE-KO
