blood, and to attempt cure by exter-
nal treatment is an endless, hopeless
task. Some simple wash or ointment
is often beneficial when the skin is
much infaned or itches, but you can t
depend upon local remedies for perrna-

throwing off impurities which irritate
and clog the glands and pores of
the skin, and as long as the blood re-
mains unhealthy, just so long will the
eruptions last. To effectually and per-
manently cure skin troubles the blood
must be purified and the system
thoroughly cleansed and built up, and
S. S. S., the we'll known blood purifier
and tonic, is acknowledged superior to
all other remedies for this purpose. It
