ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN
Not a Blood Disease-—Cured by Oil of Wintergreen Compound. For many years eczema was supposed to be a blood disease, and was erroneously treated as such, but now the best authorities agree that eczema is only a skin disease and must t>e cured through the skin. The eminent skin specialist, Dr. D. D. Dennis, first discovered the eczema germ and his discovery was quickly taken up in both Germany and France. To kill the eczema germ and at the same time heal the skin, Dr. Dennis compounded oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine, etc. The remedy is a liquid, not a mere salve, hence it sinks right into the pores of the skin. Washing with this oil of Wintergreen compound seems to take the itch away at oneb; soon the scales drop away and the disease disappears. B. F. Fendig, Rensselaer. The prescription has now been used so long as to have proven its absolute merit and we do not hestltate to express our confidence in D. D. D. Prescription as used with D. D. D. Soap.
