OH, FIERY SKIN DISEASES
IS THERE NO RELIEF?

and uDsightly disorders. So
that whenever your skin breaks
out with any Of these condi-
tions, you will save yourself
much annoyance and the pain
that comes from the fiery itch
inf. if you will realize from the
outset that to treat this condi-
ton intelligently. you must
first cleanse the blood OF the
millions Of tiny germs that
cause the trouble.
This, Of course, means that
you will get no permanent good
from the use Of local treat
ment applied to the surface OF
the skin, because it is impos-
sible to reach the blood in this
way.
The sensible treatment that
will show real results is RENE
dy that will cleanse the blood
thoroughly and kilt the germs
that cause the trouble. And for
this purpose no remedy ever
made, can approach the record
of S. S. S., the fine old fifty
year-old blood medicine. This
medicine is purely vegetable,
being made Of the juices OF
roots and herbs gathered direct
from the forests, the medicinal
value of which is recognized by
the medical profession every
where. 1t cleanses the blood Of
the disease germs, at the same
time building up the general
health. S. S. S. is sold by all
druggists, and is probably the
most popular family medicine
which they carry. If you want
permanent results, this is the
you should take.
If your own case needs spe-
cial medical advice, you can OBJ

Must Continue to Suffer From
the Fiery Itching2

This is indeed the burning
question with those who are the
victims of itching, burning, fiery
irritations that break out all
over the skin, causing its victim
to itch and scratch with almost
constant torture. Going from
bad to worse, with only tenn
porary lull in the suffering, you
have about reached the conclu-
sion that you are doomed, to
have this terrifying disease as
your life companion.
If you have followed the
usual course Of treatment. you
have doubtless used lotions,
ointments, salves and washes
abundantly, in an effort to get
some sort Of relief from your
torture. Probably you have re-
ceiyed temporary relief from
the fiery itching by the use OF
local treatment. but your expe-
rience will be like that of thou
sands Of others who have found
that such treatment does not
reach the cause Of. the disease,
and cannot for this reason
make any progress toward a
cure.
While it is true that the visi-
bic location Of this trouble is
apparently on the skin, you
must look deeper for it's origin,
and until you locate its starting
point, and direct your treat
ment there, you will, continue
to suffer.
The skin is fed from the
blood, and upon the condition
Of the blood depends upon
whether or not your skin will
be healthy and free from boils,
