HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA
Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol, GIycer-
inc, Etc, Used as a Simple Wash.

1t really seems strange that SC
many people suffer year in and yeal
out with eczema, when it is now Nc
longer secret that oil of winter
green mixed with thymol, glycerine
ETC., makes wash that is bound to
cure.
Old, obstinate cases, it is true, can
not be cured in a few days, but there
is absolutely no sufferer from eczema
who ever used this simple wash and
did not find IMMEDIATELY that
wonderfully soothing, calm, cool SEN
sation that comes when the itch il
taken away Instantly upon apply
ing a few drops of the wash the rem
edy takes effect, the itch is allav-
ed. There is no need of experiment
the patient knows AT ONCE.
Instead of trying to compound the
oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycer-
inc, etc., in the right proportions
ourselves we are using a prescrip-
ton which is universally found the
most effective. 1t is known as the
d. d. ID. Prescription, or Oil of Win
tergreen Compound. 1t is made by
the d. d. d. Co. of Chicago, and our
long experience with, this remedy
has given us great confidence in its
merits.
