ITCHY SALT RHEUM
Sometimes Called Eezema-Removed
by Hoods SarsapariIIa.

Salt rheum is one of the worst
and unfortunately one Of the most
common of all diseases. How it
reddens the skin, itches. oozcs, dries
and scales, and then does this all

the whole body with inaamed,
burning patches and causes intense
suffering.
Salt rhcum comes from humors
in the blood. This is why local ap-
plications do so little good. It viii
continue to exist, annoy, pain and
perhaps agonize, until these humors
have been removed.
