ECZEMA LODGES IN The SKIN
Not a Blood Dlsease--cured by Oil Of
Wintergreen Compound

For many years eczema was sup.
posed to be blood disease and was
enormously treated as such, but now
the best authorities agree that eczema
is only a skin disease anu must be
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
Germany and France.
To kill tho eczema germ and at the
same time heal the skin, DIR. Dennis
compounded oil of wintergreen, thymo1.
glycerine, etc. The remedy is a liquid,
not a mere salve, hence il sinks right
into the pores Of the skin. Washing
with this oil of wintergreen compound
seems to take away the itch at once;
soon the scales drop away and the dis
ease disappears. The prescription has
now been used so long as to have prov
en- its absolute merit and we do not
hesitate to express our confidence in
d. D. d. Prescription az used with
d. d. d. Soap.
