ITCHING PREVENTS SLEEP
ECZEMA SUFFERS COULD HAVE
COMFORT TONIGHT.
Try This Remedy at Onr Risk.


Many persons around here suffer
so much from eczema that they can
not sleep at night.
Sometimes the terrible itching does
not begin till bedtime. Babies and
young children not only suffer great
ly but their crying keeps parents
and others awake.
Applying a little Saxon Salve. our
new skin remedy. would quiet the
itching right away and permit sleep.
And still better. it is so reliable a
remedy that it soon heals the erup-
tion and leaves the skin smooth. Re-
markable improvement is soon seen.
In all kinds of eczema, salt rheum,
letter, barber's itch, etc. Saxon
Salve has wonderful healing power
because it penetrates the skin pores
and destroys the germs at the very
seat of the disease.
We give back your money if Saxon
Salve does no satisfy you perfectly.
