YEARS OF SUFFERING THEN
ROBUST HEALTH.
Great Remedy Cured Skin Disease
Of Long Standing.

Mr.. j. Weber, of 1865 Vine street, San
Jose, CAL, writes an interesting story of
terrible skin suffering which ended in
robust health when he found a remedy
which cured him like magic. Here is MIR.
Weber's own story:
"1n July 1900, my face began to be
affected with terrible skin disease. I
went to doctor, and he told me that 1
had been poisoned and he wanted to op-
crate on me. refused to let him do so
and after few months my face was an
awful sight. You could see that it was
diseased to the bone. Some people
claimed that had cancer. Great boils
would appear, increasing in size and
paining me terribly. begun to doctor
again, but no one could help me; large
pimples and boils would continue to
come. At that time l had as many as
ten on my face. l was such terrible
sight that my friends could not bear to
see me. doctored for five years until
ny AuiiS&" save OuC anu L lldu w SUD-.
During this time l tried over 300 rem
edies.
"One day happened to hear of d. D.
d. Prescription and learned that it had
cured several bad cases of Eczema. l
purchased bottle and then got a sec
ond bottle. The use of five bottles cured
me. 1t has been eight months now and
the disease has not returned. My friends
ask what it was that cured me of the
awful skin trouble and answer that it
was D. ID. D. which healed me-"
We know that every word of the above
letter is absolutely true. We keep D.
d. D. Prescription, the great remedy for
eczema, psoriasis, salt rheum, dandrutf
etc., becaue all the cures it has made
appear to be lasting. Come in and talk
to us about this remedy.

Frank Miller, near DeKalb, got into
trouble again Saturday. This time
with a stick of wood. While chopping
some wood stick flew up and struck
him on the nose, and came very near
removing that member from his face.
A physician was called and seven
stitches were necessary to hold it in
place. Frank seems to have been born
under an unlucky star, this being his
second accident in a year.-Grand
