CONSTANT ITCHING AL
MOST UNBEATABLE

Only those afflicted with
Eczema, with its terrifying ir-
ritation and ceaseless itching
know what constant torture
this disease can cause. The dis
ease appears in different ways,
sometimes with a reddening
and irritation of the skin,
sometimes in the form of bis
tiers. Other, cases of Eczema
take the form of a dry, scaly
condition Of the skin that
cracks and peels. But no mat
ter in what form the disease
appears, it is a source OF con-
slant fiery irritation that IS
well-nigh unbearable.
Eczema is very often consid-
cred a skin disease. This is a
natural mistake, as it attacks
the skin and it is through the
skin that it causes so much dis
comfort and suffering. But the
real seat Of the disease is the
blood. The germs of Eczema
are in the blood, and the irri-
tated and diseased condition of
the skin is the result of the
germs trying to break out of
the system. Beyond the use of
antiseptics to promote cleanli-
ness, there is no local treat
ment that will accomplish a
permanent cure of this disease.
And those who have been rely
ing altogether upon salves,
soaps, ointments and other
local applications to the skin
will find that no permanent
good will come from such
treatment by itself.
Read how Basil M. Lanneau,
who resides on Confederate
avenue, in Atlanta, Ca, found
relief from this terrifying dis
ease, after all local treatment
had failed. Ne writes:

entirely cured.
Years of untold suffering can
be avoided if the real cause of
a disease can be definitely de-
termined, and the proper meth
cd of treatment employed.
Hence those afflicted with Ec-
zema will continue to suffer as
long as they consider the dis
ease a condition of the skin,
and rely solely upon local APP
plications of salves, ointments
and similar remedies. If you
really want to be cured you
mustyrealize that the disease is
in the blood, and you can ex-
pect relief only from treatment
that is directed toward cleans
ing the blood of the disease
germs. This is why S. S. S. is so
successful in the treatment Of
Eczema and all other diseases
of the blood; because it acts as
an antidote to any impurity
that finds Judgment in the
blood. Being purely vegetable
and guaranteed not to contain
particle of mineral substance,
it is an exceptionally fine tonic,
and besides eliminating from
the blood all traces of impurity,
it builds up and strengthens
the entire system at the same
time.
We invite everyone afflicted
with Eczema or other blood or
skin disease to write our medi-
cal department for advice,
which is gladly given without
charge. Full instructions as to
how to treat your own individ-
ual case will be gladly fur
nished by our chief medical ad-
wiser, who is an expert on these
diseases. Address Swift Spe-
