ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN
Not q Blood Disease-Cured by Oil
of Wintergreen Compound.

For many years eczema was sup
posed to be a blood disease and was
enormously treated as such, but now
the best authorities agree that &C.
zema is only a skin disease and must
be cured through the skin. The emf
nent skin specialist, DR.. D. D. Dennis,
first discovered the eczema germ
and his discovery was quickly taken
up in both Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at the
same time heal the skin, DR.. Dennis
compounded oil of wintergreen, thy
mol, glycerine, etc. The remedy is
a LIQUID, not a mere salve, hence it
sinks right into the pores of the skin.
Washing with this oil of wintergreen
compound seems to take the itch
away at once; soon the scales drop
away and the disease disappears.
The prescription has now been used
so long as to have proven it's abso-
lutte merit and we do not hesitate
to express our confidence in D. d. d.
prescription. Wenatchee Drug Co.
