WHAT is ECZEMA?
| COMMON ERROR CORRECTED

An erroneous impression prevails
that itching, burning Eczema. Psorias-
is Salt Rheum, Boils, etc, are only
skin diseases, and must be treated ex-
ternally Hundreds Of cases have come
under our notice-and probably your
experience is similar-where the per-
son afflicted had the disease on the
lobe of the left ear and an eruption
on the right ankle while the other
member sof the body We're absolutely
free from vesicle, rash. or other out
ward manifestations, showing conclu-
sively that the blood was poisoned and
the poison found vent al the most vul-
nerable part of the person afflicted DR..
Taylors theory is that these disease les
originate in the blood. and must be
treated from that standpoint, not
through the skin alone This theory
is amply proven by the thousands OF
people who have been permanently
cured. Our Blood Purifier forces the
poison to the surface of the skin
eliminates it wholly from the blood
and our germicide Lotion and Ooint-
ment restore the skin to healthy and
