Eczema is Now Durable.

A st. Louis chemist. after many
years of careful experimenting and in
vestigation, has discovered a simple
remedy that has cured hundreds of
cases of eczema that had been pro-
nounced incurable. This chemist be-
lieved that eczema. and all itching
skin diseases we're of local origin and
we're caused by germs which attacked
and fed on the skin. He began to
search for a remedy that would de-
stroy these germs. and found that 10y
combining the active principles of GER
tain well known vegetable drugs, and
applying them locally, the first appli-
cation stopped the itching and burn
ing, and if used persistently would
drive all germs and their poisons to
the surface of the skin, and destroy
them, leaving a nice. clear. healthy
skin. He gave this remarkable rem
edy the suggestive name of Zemo,
and since its introduction to the pub
lie Zemo has proved very popular
remedy and is today recognized the
most successful and meritorious rem
edy ever produced for the relief and
cure of eczema and all diseases of
the skin and scalp.
Harper House pharmacy endorses
and recommends Zemo and says that
they believe Zemo TO be an honest
medicine and will do all that is claim
ed for it.

GREAT SKIN CURE sTlRs EUROPE
Medical Profession Interested in Ex-
ternai Wash Which is Producing
Remarkable Results.

Instant relief and permanent cures
have so invariably followed the use of
an American prescription for the cure
of skin diseases that European doc
tors, always jealous to lead in fields
of medical knowledge, are still direct
ing inquiries as to the ingredients of
this external vegetable remedy
The makers of the prescription, the
d. D. d. company of Chicago, are re-
plying frankly to such European inqui-
ries that this eczema remedy is simply
oil, of wintergreen compounded with
other vegetable ingredients of known
healing power such as thymol and
|glycerine.
Apparently no case of no matter
how long standing can stand against
this simple remedy, known as d. d. D..
prescription. Here is a typical letter
from Mrs. E. Payne of East Pittsburg.
Pa: Il had horrible breaking out on
my legs and feet and tried nearly all
medicines and salves without result.
The first bottle of d. ID. d. helped me
and l secured complete cure. That
was two years ago and l have had no
trouble since"
We have investigated the merits of
d. d. d. prescription and believe it to
be the best and quickest cure for skin
diseases. At any rate, we positively
know that it takes away the itch just
as soon as you apply few drops of
the soothing liquid. Call for free
booklet on care and nutrition of the
skin and ask for cake of d. d. d.
soap.

Lowell Courier Citizen: Several vice
presidents have become presidents
through the unfortunate death of the
chief executive, and so great is the
strain of the highest position in the
government. and so many the dangers
attending it, that any vice president
must hold himself in readiness to take
the reins of government at short no
tice, or without warning The vice
president is, in fact the understudy
for the greatest character in the ma
tional drama, and no matter whether
or not he is ever called upon to fill
the role, he should be a man of ster-
ling character. of great capacity, of
proven worth. The vice president may
appear to be little more than a figure
head in political life, but he is really
one of the important safeguards of the
nations security and prosperity.

Hood & Curtin Guarantee.

The sales record of all medicines
by Hood & Curtin has been broken
by the recent remarkable demand
for Hyomei. This is not alone due to
the peculiar weather conditions that
have increased catarrhal troubles,
but the way in which Hood & Cur
IN sell Hyorei is ur doubtedly re-
sponsible for mary sales.
With every GolIa, outfit they give
their personal guarantee to refund
TIE money If Hyomei does not give
absolute satisfaction. Ask Hood &
Curtin to explain to you about this
guarantee.
There is no stomach dosing with
Hyomei. 1t is a medicated air treat
ment that kills all catarrhal germs,
preventing their growth and making
catarrh impossible. 1t has cured
many right here in Waxahachie, and
you should try it now and get relief
from catarrh. 2S7
