IF 1T DISAPPEARS, IT'S ECZEMA

How to Tell Whether a Skin Affection
Is an Inherited Blood Disease
or Not
Sometimes it is hard to determine
whether skin affection Is a sign of q
blood disorder or simply a form of
eczema. Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is to go to
the Rosser Drug Co., 523 Kansas ave-
nue., or any good druggist who han
dies pure drugs and obtain so cents
worth of poslam. Apply this, and If
the itching stops at once and the
trouble is cured in a few days it may
be set down as having been eczema, as
this is the way posiam acts in the
worst cases of eczema. and in curing
acne, herpes. blotches, letter, piles,
salt rheum, rash, BARRIERS and other
forms of itch. scaly scalp. and all sur
face skin affections.
Any one who will write to the Elmer
gency Laboratories, No. So West
Twerty-fifth street, New York, can Sc
cure, by mail free of charge, a supply
sufficient to cure a small eczema sur
face or clear a complexion overnight
and remove pimples in twenty-four
hours.
