HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA.
Oil of Winterereen. Thymol. Glycer
inc. Etc. Used as a
Simple Wash.

1t really seems strange that so
many people suffer year in and year
out with eczema when it is now no
longer secret that oil of winter
green mixed with thymol, glycerine,
etc, makes wash that is bound to
cure.
Old, obstinate cases, it Is true,
cannot be cured in few days, but
there is absolutely no sufferer from
eczema who ever used this simple
wash and did not find IMMEDIATE
LY that wonderfully soothing, calm,
cool sensation that comes when the
itch is taken away. Instantly upon
applying a few drops Of the wash the
remedy takes effect, the itch is al
layed. There is no need of expert
ment-the patient knows AT ONCE.
Instead of trying to compound the
oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycer-
inc, etc. in the right proportions
ourselves we are using a prescription
which is universally found the most
effective. 1t Is known as the d. d.
d. Prescription, or Oil of Winter
green Compound. 1t is made by the
y. d. d. Co. of Chicago, and our long
experience with this remedy has
given us great confidence in its
merits.
