Here's Glorious Relief
From Itching Skin Diseases

that the blood is feeding fresh new
germs all the time, to keep the skin
irritated, and until the supply of
germs is cut off entirely, you cannot
expect any real relief.
But s. s. s., the fine old blood
remedy, goes directly after the
germs that infest the blood, and
puts them to rout. This remedy is
strictly a blood purifier, and thers
is no disease germ that can with
stand its attacks.
This is why S. s. s. gives such
satisfactory results in eczema, tet-
ter, boils, pimples, or any other
skin eruptions or disorder. By
thoroughly purifying the blood. and
cleansing it of every trace of dis
case germ, S. s. s. removes the
cause of all skin eruptions. and re-
stores its normal. healthy condition.
If you want relief that is lasting,
because it goes to the seat of the
trouble, get a bottle of S. s. s. to-
day, and take it as directed. and
satisfactory results will follow. It
is sold by oil drug stores. Special
medical vice about your own case
can be had without cost, by writing

BOHEMIANS DON'T

PRAGUE. Czecho- -Slovakia, Feb. 8.
CBy mail. l-Germans unfortunate
enough to have interests that keep
them inside the Czecho-Slovak area
are in a difficult position. The i'll feel
ing of the Bohemian population for
the Germans is strong and manifested
openly, though there has been no
abuse, except when deliberately pro-
voked by Germans.
Until the present revolution, Ger
mans favored by the Hapsburg gov
ernment have had special favor shown
them, and have become rich by reason
OF their privilege. This led to a hatred
on the part of the Slav elements. When
the revolution destroyed German
domination. a large number of Ger
mans hastily left Prague and other
tiles. Others stayed, and under in
rluence OF agitators from the outside
tried to provoke trouble with the view
OF ultimate reaction against the revo-
luton. The were sequelched and the
agitation has ceased except along the
borders.
The remaining Germans are looked
upon with suspicion, though they are
not molested.
Along the border the problem IL
more difficult than in the center of
the country and around Prague. Here
the population is more mixed and In
many cases has a large percentage Of
Germans who have come in as indi.

the kind that can be used in the kit

No More Fiery Pain If You
use the Right Treatment

First of all, get it firmly fixed in
your mind that the fiery, burning
and itching that causes such pain
and torture, is not a local skin dis
ease. True, the skin is the scene
of the attack, but the skin is fed by
the blood and suffers from any inn
purity in the blood.
This explains why you have been
so disappointed in getting any real,
lasting relief from the use of oint-
ments, salves, lotions, or other REM
cdies applied to the surface of the
skin.
The millions of tiny disease
germs which infest the blood keep
up constant attack on the skin,
and are not effected in the least
by local treatment. They must be
routed from the blood.
These germs which saturate the
blood cannot be reached except
through the blood. When you treat
the local irritations with local APP
phcations,. you must remember
