SURE RELIEF FROM
FIERY SKIN DISEASES

where they can break through the
skin and set up their attack, and
if you have ever had any form Of
these skin disorders. you know
what real torture is.
Follow the teachings Of science,
and you will learn that the skin
is fed by the blood. and naturally,
then. the condition of your skin
will depend upon the condition of
your blood. If the blood becomes
infested with millions of tiny dis
ease germs that attack the skin,
then the fiery irritation and intense
itching will remain with you until
these germs are attacked at their
source and removed from the
blood.
Genuine relief. therefore, can
only be expected from a treatment
that goes right to the seat of the
trouble. and strikes at its cause.
Such a remedy is S. S. s.. the
reliable old blood purifier that kills
the germs of disease. and sends a
new supply of rich red blood oours-
ing through the veins.
S. S. S. has been used success
fully in some of the worst cases
of eczema and other skin disorders.
and it can be relied upon to cleanse
the blood thoroughly of the germ,
which cause these complaints. S. S.
S. is also splendid tonic and sys-
tem-builder. and It builds up and
adds new visor to the whole system.
Go to your drug store and get
a bottle Of S. S. S. today, and be-
sin the right treatment for skin
diseases. Then If you feel that
your case requires special medical
advice. you can obtain same with
out cost. by writing to Chief Med
cal Adviser. l52 Swift Laboratory,

VIII Never Come From Salves,
Ointments, or Other Local
Treatment

Usually those who continue to
suffer from stubborn ailments are
those who refuse absolutely to
heed the teachings of medical ser
ence. New discoveries are being
constantly made. and those. who
fail to take advantage of the won
derful accomplishments of men of
science are standing in their own
light. and will continue under the
handicap of disease.
A million gallons of lotions, ONT
ments, sanes. or other forms of
local treatment will not give any
real permanent relief from skin
diseases. Get this fact firmly in
your mind. and there is hope for
you.
If you have ever been afflicted
with eczema, tetter. boils, eruptions.
or other similar skin irritation. you
can appreciate the real terrifying
discomfort that comes from these
disorders. And what you are look
ing for Is not merely temporary.
palliative relief that may cause the
terrible burning and itching to
abate for awhile. but real genuine
relief that shakes off the shaekles
of the disease. and restores the
skin to its former healthy condi-
ton.
But your eczema. tetter. bols.
pimples. ache. scaly skin eruptions.
and burning fiery irritations that
cause 50 much discomfort by their
terrifying itching. come from a
tiny disease germ IN your blood.
which muitiplies by the millions.
