But contrary to general opinion, it is
a fact that al least a large number OF

allow their names to be used. we our
selves know of more than one case
where man or woman naturally averse
to publicity was so overioyed at finding
the right kind of medicine that the
cured patient consented to the use OF
his name in print.
A typical case of this kind--of es
peeial interest to eczema sufTerers-is
that of Robert Sussman of Toledo,
Ohio. Mr.. Sussman is a well known
frlrrier in Toledo, and for years he sui
fered with a severe case of eczema.
He described his case as almost un-
endurabIe. About five years ago he was
induced to try the oil Of wintergreen
compound known as D. d. D. Prescrip-
ton for eczema sufferers He has gone
out of his way TO End sufferers and to
tell them of this remedy. He has done
this without pay of course, and with
out even having been requested to do
so by the d. ID. d. company. 1t was
simply the fact that his health. mis-
very life, had been restored that made
him 80 enthusias site We have recently
had another lester from Mr.. Sus4man
in which he offers to write to any ecze-
