CONSTANT ITCHING ALMOST
UNBEATABLE.

Only those afflicted with Ec-
zema. with its terrifying irritation
and ceaseless itching know what
constant torture this disease can
cause. The disease appears in diff
ferent ways, sometimes with a red
dening and irritation of the skin.
sometimes in the form of bIisters.
Other cases of Eczema take the
form of dry. scaly condition of the
skin that cracks and peels. But
no matter in what form the disease
appears. it is a source Of constant
fiery irritation that is well-nigh un-
bearable.
Eczema is very often considered
skin disease. This is a natural
mistake. as it attacks the skin and
it is through the skin that it causes
so much discomfort and suffering.
But the real seat of the disease is
the blood. The germs of Eczema
are in the blood. and the irritated
and diseased condition of the skin
IS the result of the germs trying
10, break out of the system. Be-
yond the use of antiseptics to pro-
mote cleanliness. there is no local
treatment that will accomplish a
permanent cure of this disease. And
those who have been relying alto
sether 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 Nj. Lanneau, who
-cIdes on Confederate Avenue. in
atlanta. Ca. found relief from
this terrifying disease. after all local
treatment had failed. He writes:

vinced that Eczema is nothing but

Years of untold suffering can
be avoided if the real cause of a
disease can be definitely determined,
and the proper method of treatment
employed. Hence those afflicted
with Eczema will continue to suf-
fer as long as they consider the dis
ease condition of the skin, and
rely solely upon local applications
of salves, ointments and similar
remedies. If you really want to
be cured you must realize that the
disease is in the blood. and you
can expect relief only from treat
ment that is directed toward cleans
ing the blood of the disease germs.
This is why S. S. S. is so success
full in the treatment Of Eczema and
all other diseases of the blood; be-
cause 1t acts as an antidote to any
impurity that finds lodgment in the
blood. Being purely vegetable and
guaranteed not to contain a particle
of mineral substance. it is an ex-
ceptonally fine tonic. and besides
eliminating from the blood all traces
of impurity. it builds up and
strengthens the entire system at the
same time.
