RECIPE FOR
SUNBURN
Try the following to take out the
soreness from sunburn, and you will
get immediate relief: Wet a cloth
with X-Zalia and place it directly on
the burn. Keep wetting the cloth as
the flesh absorbs the liquid and the
pain will stop and the flesh will soon
heal. You can get X-Zalia from any
drug store.
