ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN
Not Blood Disease-Cured by Oil OF
Wintergreen Compound

For many years eczema was supposed
10 be a blood disease and was errou-
eOusly treated as such but now the
best authorities agree that eczema is
only a skin disease and must be cured
through the skin. The eminent skin
specialist, DR.. D. d. Dennis, first dis
covered the eczema germ and his dis
covery was quickly taken up in both
Germany and France.
To kin the eczema germ and at the
same time heal the skin DR.. Dennis
compounded oil Of vintergreen. thyu1oI-
giyCeriue. etc. The remedy IS a liquid,
not mere salve. hence IL sinks right
into the pores OF the skin. Washing
with this oil Of wiutergreen compound
seems TO take the itch away ar once:
soon the scales drop away and the dis
ease disappears The prescription has
now been used 30 long as to have proven
its absolute merit and we do not hes
