rely upon local remedies, such
as lotions, salves, ointments
and other applications to the
surface Of the skin.
But eczema, letter, pimples,
skin eruptions and similar dis
orders that cause so much dis
comfort, are not merely a sur
face condition; their cause lies
deeper, and you will never be
entirely rid of the terrifying
itching until you realize that
their cause must be reached
and eliminated.
So the answer is: Seek the
cause and remove it." The real
source of all skin disorders be-
ing in the blood, the proper
treatment must be through the
blood. Rout out of the circu-
lation the disease germs, and
your skin will clear up and be-
come normal and healthy.
The one remedy that is being
used with uniform satisfaction
is S.S.S., the fine old purely
vegetable blood medicine that
has been on the market for
more than half a century. This
splendid remedy builds up the
blood supply by removing from
it any impurities, and gives ex-
ceilent results in all cases of
skin disorders

MOORE VS.. CHINAMAN

Pal Moore, Memphis bantamweight, Is
to appear at the Southern Athletic club
shortly in an eight-round bout against
George Lee, a ful-blooded Chinaman,
who is one of the cleverest bantams in
the business.
Lee is from the Pacific coast, where
he has been showing up well. He met
Pete Herman, bantam champion, in
New Orleans, few weeks back, and
gave Pete a hard battle, although crit
les awarded the verdict to the camou-
flage champion.
Moore was here recently, and said
he was getting ready for hard cam
paign this winter,
Pal Is still trying to arrange for a
title match with Herman, but Pete
can't see Pal for the dust. Pal has
made all kinds of inducements to Her
man and his manager, but they are
aware of the fact that Moore would
give Pete a pasting over the long route
and win his crown, so they are wisely
laying off.
1t is doubtful II Herman can make
the stipulated weight for a bantam any
more, as would be required in cham
pionship match, while Moore is legiti-
mate bantam.
Memphis fans and ring followers gem
orally consider Moore the real bantam
champion, due to his victories over Her
man, Jimmy Wilde, Joe Lynch, Kid
Wolfe, Kid Williams and hosts of others
who are around the top in the bantam
flock.
