charge Of tariff canister and grape
shot for his ammunition Before a
vast audience that filled the baseball

RATIONAL CURE FOR ECZEMA
No More Dosing the Stomach-Cure
the Skin Trough the Skin.

When you have scratch on your
hand you wash 1t out and cleanse il
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 eyi-
dent from statistics which show that
nearly all eczema sufferers are per
fectly healthy in all other ways ex'
,ept as to their skin. II the eczema
patients were really suffering from an
inward malady, the entire body and
not only the skin would be diseased
You can prove Immediately the re
lief of a true skin cure by using oil
of wintergreen as compounded in d..
T. d. Prescription.
This liquid attacks the disease
germs, numbing them while building
up the healthy tissue of the skin. We
have now handled this meritorious and
thoroughly scientific remedy for so
long and have seen its reliable results
so many times that we freely express
our confidence.
