In other words, you should not be
content to have only temporary re-
lief from the terrifying itching and
burning of fiery skin diseases. And
that is all you can possibly get from
the use of saIves, ointments, lotions
and other local remedies applied to
the surface of the skin.
Temporary relief will do you but
little good if you are a victim of
itching eruptions, tetter, rash. ecze-
ma or other terrifying skin disor-
ders. Soon all the itching and IT.
ntauon will break out afresh with
renewed fury, and you should be
convinced that no amount of local
treatment can possibly rid you of
your trouble.
Such remedies will doubtless af-
ford some measure of temporary
relief, but why should you be salts
he'd with makeshift remedies that
can make no progress toward nd
ding you of your afhcdona
