ands of Cures.
1t is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema is purely a skin disease,
due to 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 perfectly 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 a penetrating
liquid.
Such a 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. d. Prescription, stops the
itch instantly-and the cures all ap-
pear to be permanent. In fact, it took
thousands of cures. case after case.

were convinced of the absolute merit
of this remedy. D. D. d. Prescription
kills the germs in the itching skin.
