Itching and Burning EupHOns Tor
ture Victims.

Only those who are afflicted with
Eczema. letter, ErysipeIas boils and
similar sO-calIed skin diseases can ap-
preciaie the real terrifying discomfort
that comes from these disorders.
Just imagine that there IS a steady
blaze Of fire IN constant contact with
your tender skin. and you can form
some idea or the pain that must be
endured by the afflicted. For the
millions and millions of tiny disease
germs that seem to burrow through
the skin. each one carrying a torch
of fire. cause pain that Is almost IN
endurabIe.
And the constant plea Of those af-
hicted IS the Oft-repeated question.
How can I find relief from this con-
slant tOrture2" Not palliative. TEN
porary relief that causes the terrible
itching to abate for awhile. but real
genuine relief that shakes off the
shackIes of the disease and restores
the skin to its former healthy condi-
ton.
And temporary relief is the most
that can be expected from local treat
ment. such as Ointments. salves. To-
hons, etc. which is one reason why
these diseases seem to hold on with
such tenacity. It is not because they
are incurabIe, but because they are
improperly treated. that they appear
to be so stubborn and so difficult to
cure.
The fact Is they are misnamed. and
therefore, improperly treated Be
cause the trouble attacks the skin and
all the pain and discomfort is con
fined to the surface of the skin. these
disorders are called skin diseases.
But the real cause IS a disease germ
IN the blood, which muldplies by the
million, and sets up an irritation In
some tender location Of the delicate
skin.

Terrifying Discomfort
From Skin Diseases

You can get some little relief for
the time being by rubbing or scratch
ing the Initiated skin. but you would
not expect to be cured IN this way.
Neither should you expect a cure from
local applications of lotions. Oint-
ments or other remedies applied to
the SKIN, for the simple reason that
Ia cure must come from the source
of the trouble.
You must locate the headquarters
of the disease germs, and cut off their
base Of supplies. The blood is satu-
rated with them. and they Will set up
their attacks on the surface of the
skin as long as they remain in the
blood. no matter how much local
treatment you take.

disease from the blood. and until
they are eliminated your skin viii
never be free from the itching and
burning discomfort.
IF you want relief that Is perma-
nent, then take a treatment that goes
right to the seat Of the trouble and
removes its cause. Such a remedy Is
