EXTERNAL REMEDY FOR ECZEMA.
why SaIyes Fall While Simple Liquid Has
Accomplished thousand Of Cures.

1t is now thoroughly establis he'd
among the best medical authorities that
eczema is purely skin disease. due to
a germ and durable only through the
skin. 1t is notsa blood disease at all;
in fact, thousands of people suffer with
skin disease and are perfectly healthy
otherwise, and therefore 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 liquid can be obtained by
simply mixing ordinary oil Of winter
green with thymol, glycerine and other
healing agents This compound known
as d. d. ID. Prescription stops the itch
instantly-and tie cures all appear TO
be permanent. In fact, it took thous-
