ECZEMA. Scientists-are now agreed that the eczema germs are lodged not in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence, a venerating liquid is required, not an outward salve that clogs the pores. We recommend to all eczema patients the standard prescription Oil of Wintergreen as compounded in liquid form known as D. D. D. Prescription. A trial bottle of the D. D. D. Prescription, at only 25 cents, will instantly relieve the itch. We have sold and recommended this remedy for years, and know" of wonderful cures from its use. We recommend ft to our patrons.

ADVICE TO WOMEN, A Message From a Famous Beauty Specialist to Wotnen Lacking In Energy and Vitality. Thousands of women vainly at tempt to improve their complexion and to remove blackheads, erows’ feet and other blemishes, through the use of cosmetics. This trouble fails because the trouble lies far deeper than the skin. They are suffering from Impure 'and impoverished blood. This condition is in many cases due to a catarrhal condition of the whole system which finds its expression in sallow, muddy complexion, dark-circ-led eyes, general weakness of the system, and perhaps most plainly in the weeping of mucous membranes that is commonly called catarrh. In. fact this whole tendency is, properly speaking, catarrh.. * Banish tiiis catarrh, and the complexion will ‘cleaas If by magic, and the complexion will clear as if by magic, eyes wi(l brighten, face become rosy and shoulders erect. Perfect beauty goes onlj with perfect health, and perfect health for women can only be obtained through one certain treatment —that which will cure catarrh. Mme. Swift, bjew York, the famous beauty specialist known throughout the world and an accepted authority on all relating thereto, states that the one positive and permanent relief for catarrh is Rexall Mucu-Tone. Here is her letter. “I can strongly endorse the claims made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as A cure for systematic catarrh. Its tonic effects are remarkable. It builds up the strength and restores vitality. If women who are tired and run down, lacking in energy and vitality, will use Rexall Mucu-Tone, they will praise as I do its strengthening and healing qualities,” Rexall Mucu-Tone works through the blood, acting thus upon the mucous cells—the congestion and inflammation of which causes local catarrh' This remedy causes poison to be expelled from the system, and the blood is purified and revitalized. Thus the natural functions of-ithe mucous cells are restored, and the membranes are cleansed and made strong. We know that Rexall-Mucu-Tone does relieve catarrh. We positively guarantee to refund the money, paid us for this remedy in every case where the user is dissatisfied. It is a builder of vigorous health and a creator of good complexions.
