CONSTANT ITCHING AL
MOST UNBEARABLE.

Only those afflicted with E.
zema, with its terrifying irritation
and ceaseless itching know what
constant torture this disease can
cause. The disease appears in diff
terent ways. sometimes with a red
dening and irritation of the skin,
sometimes in the form of blisters.
Other cases of Eczema take the
form of a 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 to
break out Of the system. Beyond
the use of antiseptics to promote
cleanliness, there is no local treat
ment that will accomplish a perma-
nent cure of this disease. And
those who have been relying alto
sether upon salves. soaps. oint-
ments and other local applications
to the skin will find that no per-
manent good will come from such
treatment by itself.
Read how Basil M. Lanneau,
who resides on Confederate ave-
nue.. in Atlanta. Ca, found relief
from this terrifying disease. after
all local treatment had failed. He

OF Eczema, the itching beng severe that
l could not sleep. l used thirteen pounds
OF ointment, tried nearly every skin remedy,
besides being treated by two skin specialists.
l am now convinced that Eczema is nothing
but blood trouble. for after taking several

Years of untold suffering can be
avoided if the real cause of a dis
ease can be definitely determined,
and the proper method of treat
ment employed. Hence those af-
tlIcted with Eczema will continue
to suffer as long as they consider
the disease a condition of the skin,
and rely solely upon local appIica-
tons of salves. ointments and SIM
liar 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;
because it acts as an anhdote to
any impurity that finds lodgment
in the blood. Being purely vege-
table and guaranteed not to con-
tain a 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 every one afflicted
with Eczema, or other blood or
skin disease, to write our medical
department for advice, which is
gladly given without charge. Full
instructions as to how to treat your
own individual case will be gladly
furnished by our chief medical ad-

The easy manner in which the mar

terday gave promise of higher prices
this morning. Prices did go higher
today, but in very jerlSy and confus-
ing fashion 1t was apparent that
short covering by the professional eIe-
ment played large part in some OF
the sudden advances. Speculative
activity shifted rapidly from one sec
ton of the list to the other and while
the market was strong the advance
was by no means uniform.
outside OF the market itself, the
street had very little to consider.
Ihere was little or no news calculated
to influence sentiment and the
course of prices depended solely on
the inside position of the market.
