LIQUID CURES ECZEMA
WHERE SALvES FAIL

In regard to skin diseases, medi-
cal authorities are now agreed on
this:
Don't imprison the disease germs
in your skin by the use OF greasy
salves, and thus encourage them to
multiply. A true cure Of all eczema
tous diseases can be brought about
only by using the healing agents in
the form Of liquid.
WASH THE GERMS OUT.
A simple wash; A compound Of
OIL Of Wintergreen. Thymol, and 9TH
er ingredients as combined in the d.
D. D. Prescription. This penetrates
to the disease germs and destroys
them, then soothes and heals the
skin as nothing else has ever done.
A 25 cent trial bottle will start the
cure, and give you instant relief. M.
