Itching and BURNING Oftdmes
Almost UnbearabIe in its
lnten.ity

On the lips TO T. ose afflicted with
skin disease is the eternal question,
How can | find relief from itching
and burning and fiery irritation mat
keeps me in such constant torture:
This pitiful appeal will continue
TO come from those who have been
misled into the entirely erroneous
method Of using treatment that is at
best only palliative and can have no
curative effect because it does not
reach ,the.source Of The trouble.
In severe cases, where person is
suffering intense pain that is unbear'
able, physicians find it necessary 10
administer an opiate to give tempo
rary relief. They do not. however,
expect 10 cure the pain in this way,
but seek al once 10 locate its cause
and direct their treatment at It's
source
a fire may start in the basement Of
a house and the flames break out
through the roof. Water thrown on
the roof will not extingulsh the fire,
but the intelligent fireman Will locate
the source OF the fire and soon put it
out.
Just so with disease. The inteli-
gent physician will tell you that the
place to stop any disease IS where it
starts. Find the location Of its orr
gin, or its starting point, then you can
apply treatment that will get results.
So-callcd skin diseases are improp-
nrlv treated in nine cases out Of ten,
which IS one reason why so many
people think them incurable. The
real source Of the trouble Is over
looked.
Whenever you see person with a
clear, ruddy complexion, with a
healthy skin entirely free from pim-
plies or blulchcs, you may be sure
that their blood is free from all i'm
purities.
Diseases Of the skin, therefore
