SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA. Itching, Burning Skin Disease Routed Without Use of Injurious Drugs. Great inventors often have been praised for surrendering the secrets of their discoveries. Practically the same thing happened in the medical world in the case of Dr. Decatur D. Dennis, the eminent skin specialist of Chicago. Dr. Dennis, in his own office practice. discovered that pure vegetable oil of Wintergreen, properly mixed with other simple remedies was practically a sure specific for Eczema, psoriasis, barber's itch, salt rheum and other itching skin diseases. But the oil of Wintergreen alone was found ineffective. It required other mild ingredients such as glycerine and thymol compounded with the wintergreen to produce the real eczema cure. This compound D. D. D. Prescription positively takes away the itch at once —the instant it is applied to the skin. This vegetable liquid does away with deleterious drugs so long used in an attempt to doctor the blood, whereas modern science has determined that eczema is first and all the time a skin disease. If you want to know more about the merits of D. D. D. Prescription, call at our store. We vouch for this remedy. Smith. Yager & Falk. NOTICE. Two candidates namely True Fristoe and W. H. Fledderjohann will be given the degree work at the Elks lodge Friday evening and it is essential that a large membership turn out and assist in welcoming the new members.

I wish that I mignt talk with all sick ones about the actual cause of Stomach, Heart and Kidney ailments. To explain in person how weak Stomach nerves lead to Stomach weakness, I am sure would interest all. And it is the same with weak Hearts or weak Kidneys. This is why my prescription —Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—so promptly reaches ailments of the Stomach. Heart and Kidneys. It is wrong to drug the Stomach or stumulate the Heart or Kidneys. These weak inside nerves simply need more strength. My Restorative is the only prescription made expressly for these nerves. Next to seeing you personally will be to mail you free, my new booklet entitled, “What to Do.” I will also send samples of my Restorative as well. Write for the book today. It will surely interest you. Address Dr. Shoop. Box 8, Racine, Wis. W. H.
