Bad stomachs mean bad blood;
bad blood means sallow, unattractlVe
skin.
Why? The stomach In a healthy
condition separates the nutritious mat
ter from the blood to supply the
entire body with nourlshment.
II the stomach is not in a healthy
condition. 1t does not separate from
the food the nutritious matter ana
it passes off with the waste.
Thus the blood is impoverished
and has not sufficient nourishment
to supply the muscles, skin and
body generally.

tress after eating, nausea, bhi'

WHY sALVEs FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA
They Clog the Pores only
Liquid Can Reach the inner Side.

Since the oldfashioned theory OF
curing eczema through the blood
has been given up by scientists,
many different salves have been tried
for skin diseases. But 1t has been
found that these salve only clog the
pores and can not penetrate to the
inner skin below the epidermis where
the eczema germs are lodged.
This-the quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard hquic
eczema cure, oil Of wlntergreen az
compounded in d. D. d. Prescription
After ten years of cure after cure,th
worlds leading skin specialists hay'
accepted this as the true eczem
cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate L

those who have never tried the pre-
scription, We arranged with the I
ID. d. laboratories Of Chicago fo
