II seems there was a guard posted at a
certain corner FOR some twenty-odd
years. The sentry was relieved every
four hours OF so without the slightest

"Finally some one began to question

ECZEMA $
ITCH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
aammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fssurcd. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable the acid burning
humor seems TO ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salyes, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
II will keep the skin irritated.
