DOCTORS USE THIS FOR ECZEMA
'. Y. BAhHUN,
Local Forecaster.

Dr. Evans, Ex-Commissioner of
Health says: There is almost no
relation between skin diseases and
he blood" The skin must be cured
through the skin. The germs must
be washed out, and so salves have
long ago been found worthless. The
most advanced physicians of this
country are now agreed on this, and
are prescribing a wash of winter
green, thymol and other ingredients
for eczema and all other skin dis
eases. This compound is known as
d. ID. D. Prescription for Eczema
DR.. Holmes, the well known skin
specialist writes: II am convinced
that the ID. d. d. Prescription is as
much a specific for eczema as
luinine for malaria. / have been
prescribing the D. D. D. remedy for
years" 1t will take away the itch
the instant you apply it,
In fact, we aresso sure of what D.
.. d. will do for you that we will be
glad to let you have a 81 bottle on
our guarantee that it will cost you
nothing unless you find that 1t does
the work.

The attendance, although it was Mon
day night, was i'm no way abated. The
deepening interest is very gratifying
The great meetings of the Sabbath Kin
died deep interest in many. The subject
of the service of song was "a Garden 4
Sweet Peas"-the sd Psalm
This Psalm is garden filled with pre-
cious clusters. The first cluster is POS
session" 1t is possible to really kno"
you are saved. Assurance is the joy 81
Conversion. The Christian is not as rea
to some people as it ought. Some make
it only a fire-escape. If you have
doubt it weakens you. Watts said: -
like to hear a testimony If the roots Of
the tongue reach es heart"
The second cluster of fragrance is Pro
vision God never feeds his flock OF
canned goods. If our Christians have as
much for God as some have for chew
of tobacco our churches would be full.
The third cluster is "Privilenge." Tit
paraIvsis of death is creeping upon many
mems souls.
The fourth cluster is Protection.
Where I need Jesus most is where I liv'
every day. The "valley of the shadow O
death is where we walk all the time
There are lots of shadows in this life
There can be no shadow without light
Jesus is the light of the world" BEHIND
the shadow of the Christian life jesus
stands.
The next is "Plentifulness.' If you were
full Of God you would have 2 testimony
