No More Dosing the Stomach-Cure
the Skin Through the Skin.
When you have a scratch on your
hand you wash it out. and cleanse it
and then the skin cures itself. You
do not take blood medicine to cure
a festered wound.
! The best skin specialists today are
agreed that the only way to cure
the skin is through the skin.
The fact that eczema is a skin dis
ease and not a blood disease is evil
| dent from statistics which show
that nearly all eczema sufferers are
perfectly healthy in all other ways
except as to their skin. If the eczema
patients were really suffering from
an inward malady. the entire body
and not only the skin would be dis
eased.
You can prove Immediately the
relief of a true skin cure by using
oil of wintergreen as compounded in
D. d. D. Prescription.
This liquid attacks the disease
| germs, numbing them while build
| ing up the healthy tissue of the
! skin. We have now handled this mer-
itorious and thoroughly scientific
remedy for so long and have seen it's
| reliable result SO many times that
we freely express our confidence. B..

Goodwin, who is sick with the fe-
yer. Mr.. Goodwin is now thought to
be improving.
Mr.. J. NJ. Bryant died last Tues
day morning. Though he had been
sick for some time his death was
sudden. 1t is thought the immedi-
ate cause was a fall combined with
a blow on the head by falling
bucket He leaves several children to
mourn his loss.
The box supper Saturday night
was success. The sum of S31.6O
was realized. This will help the

price being $2.10. The contest on

Goodwin received the largest num-
Der of votes and was declared the
