SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA
Why salves Fail While a Simple Liquid
Has Accomplished Thousands
of Cures.

1t is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema is purely a skin disease.
due to a germ. and durable only through
the skin. 1t is not a blood disease
at all; in fact, thousands of people
suffer with skin disease and are per-
fectly healthy otherwise, and thereby
prove they have no diseased blood.
Smeary salves cannot reach the
germs because they do not penetrate
the skin. The only way TO reach the
germs is by means Of penetrating
liquid.
Such a liquid can be obtained by
simply mixing ordinary oil Of winter
green with thylnol. glycerine and other
healing agents. This compound, known
as d. ID. ID. Prescription, stops the
itch instantly-and the cures all ap-
pear to be permanent. In fact. 1t took
thousands Of cures. case after case,
before the best scientific authorities
were convinced Of the absolute merit Of
this remedy. ID. d. d. Prescription
kills the germs in the itching skin. It's
effect is seen within one minute after
the first application. We especially
recommend ID. d. ID. Soap in connec-
ton with the treatment.
