WHY SALvES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA
They Clog the Pores-0nly a Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory
of curing eczema through the blood
has been given up by scientists,
many different salves have been
tried for skin disease. But it has
been found that these salves only
clog the pores and can not pene-
trate to the inner skin below the
epidermis where the eczema germs
are lodged.
T.his-the quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremend-
Gus success of the only standard
liquid eczema cure, oil of winter
green as compounded in D: D. D,
Prescription. After ten years of
cure after cure, the worlds lead
ing skin specialists have accepted
this as the true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend D. D. D. Prescription
at 81 90 a bottle, but for the bene-
fit of those who have never tried
the prescription, we arranged with
the D. D. D. Laboratories of
Chicago for special large trial
bottle at rs cents on especial offer
now. This first bottle ought to
convince every sufferer, and, at
any rate, it will surely take away
the itch at once. Bankers Drug
