SOOTHING WASH CURES ECZEMA
Oil Of Winternreen Compounded Ap.
pears to Have Solved Vex-
ing Medical Problem.

One of the most veXing problems in
all medicine appears at last to have
been solved by the most simple of all
remedies. Ordinary oil of wintergreen
properly compounded with thymol,
glycerine and other mild healing liz
uids, builds UP the healthy skin while
killing and ultimately removing the
eczema germs.
This compound. known as D. ID. D.
Prescription, has now so thoroughly
proven its efficacy that druggists rec
ommend it unhesitatingly. Years of
success and thousands of cures have
converted even those who seemed
convinced that there was mo real
cure for eczema"
The sheriff of Franklin Co. Frank
fort, KY. Mr.. W. H. Graham, writes :
my twelve-year old daughter had
been suffering with an aggravated
form of Eczema for more than two
years. We had her under the care OF
the best physicians here. Upon get
ting no relief, we were induced to try
d. D. D.. Prescription.
tShe was entirely relieved. 1t has
now been more than one year since
she ceased the use of the Remedy
and no sign of the trouble has appear.
ed. | feel very grateful
Reports indicate that all the cures
by ID. D. d. Prescription are perma-
nent; and we certainly know that the
very first application of this soothing
oil of wintergreen compound gives
instant relief from the itch.
We recommend washing with D. D.
D. Soap to all sufferers from eczema,
also all others affected with tender or
blotchy skin
1t would hardly seem reasonable to
dose the stomach with so-called
Blood medicines" when the very first
application of an external liquid i'm
