Why Salves Fail to Cure Eczema.

scientists are now agreed that the
eczema germs are lodged not in the
outer skin or epidermis, but in the
inner skin. Hence, penetrating
liquid is required, not an outward
salve that clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema pa
tlents the standard prescription Oil
or Wintergreen as compounded in
liquid form known as ID. ID. ID. Pre-
scription. A trial bottle of this ID. d..
ID. Prescription, at only 25 cents. will
instantly relieve the itch. We have
sold and recommended this remedy
for years, and know of wonderful
cures from its use. We recommend

WHY THEY FAIL.
Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause
OF Piles

Disagreeable treatment with oint-
ments or suppositories usually fails
to cure piles and cutting them off
won't remove the cause. Such treat
ment only moderates the outside eff
tects of the disease and fails to reme-
dy the inside cause. The uD-to-date
doctors now use internal medicine. to
free the circulation i'm the lower bow
