to the law class at the University on the

ALL MY PIMPLES GONE
Girl Tells How a Biotchy Skin was
cIeansed by a Simple Wash.

81 was ashamed of my face" writes
Miss Minnie Pickard of Altamahaw,
N. G. 1T was all full of pimples and
sears, but after using d. D. D. Pre-
scription / a say that now there is
no sign of that Eczema, and that was
three years ago"
D. D. d. has become 80 famous as a
cure and instant relief in Eczema and
all other serious skin diseases, that its
value is sometimes overlooked in clear
ing up rash, pimples, blackheads, and
all other minor forms of skin impure
ties.
The fact is, that while D. D. D. is
so penetrating that it strikes to the
very root of Eczema or any otherseri-
Gus trouble, the soothing Oil of Win
tergreen, Thymol and other ingredi-
ents are so carefully compounded there
is no wash for the skin made that can
compare with this great household
remedy for every kind of skin trouble.
D. D. D. is pleasant to use, perfectly
harmless to the most delicate skin; and
absolutely reliable. A Is cent bottle
will give you positive proof of the
wonderful effectiveness of this great
remedy.
