ECZEMA LODGES IN THE
SKIN
Not a B God Disease==Cured
by Oil of Wintergreen
Compound.

For many years eczema was
supposed to be a blood disease
and was enormously treated as
such, but now the best authori-
ties agree that eczema is only
a skin disease and must he
cured through the skin. The
eminent skin specialist, DR.. d.
d. Dennis, first discovered the
eczema germ and his discovery
was quickly taken up in both
Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ and
at the same time heal the skin,
DR. Dennis compounded oil of
wintergreen, thymol. glycerine,
etc. The remedy is a liquid,
not a mere salve, hence it sinks
right into the pores of the skin.
Washing with this oil of winter
green compound seems to take
the itch away at once; soon the
scales drop away and the disease
disappears. (Rob5. w. Harvey.)
The prescription has now been
used so long as to have proven
its absolute merit and we do
not hesitate to express our con-
fidence in D. D. D. Prescription
as used with D. D. D. Soap.
