Terrible itching Burning Skin Disease
Now Quickly Cured.

A purely vegetable external remedy
that has been proved beyond all posi-
BILE doubt to cure the worst cases of
Eczema and all skin diseases can now
be procured by all skin sufferers. This
remarkable remedy is D. d. d. Pre-
scription, the discovery of DR.. Decatur
d. Dennis. the well-known skin
specialist, and is being manufactured
by the D. d. d. Co, 112 Michigan ST.,
Chicago. Ill. The demand for this
remedy has become tremendous with
in u short time because people are
just learning that the hundreds of
cures it has made seem to be perma-
nent.
Eczema and all diseases of the skin
must be treated locally, according to
the views now held by foremost skin
specialists and physicians; that is.
you must doctor the itch where the
itch is. 1t is useless to attempt to
cure skin disease by taking drugs and
medicines into the stomach The
disease is not in the blood 1t is in
the skin and only skin deep You
must get at the seat of the disease
and kill the germ by making direct
applications to the skin.
