SKIN

Terrifying Itching Causes Continuous Torture. Do you sometimes feel like you will scream if you Mo not get relief from the tormenting and terrifying itching and irritating burning that makes you feel like your very skin j is ablaze? ! Possibly your disorder has not reached the torturing stage as yet, but there are thousands of victims of skin diseases that know too well the almost unendurable pain that comes from eruptions, irritations, pimples, boils, ulcers, eczema, psoyasis, carbuncles and the numerous other forms of torment that attack the delicate tissues of the skin. The only proper method of treatment for any disease, is a remedy that will reach its source, that will remove its cause, and not simply palliate its symptoms. Many forms of skin ailment come from a colony of millions upon millions of tiny disease germs that infest the bood. Naturally, then, these germs must be eradicated from the blood before a cure can be expected. You know well enough that you cannot reach the blood by applying porno thirty designs.

lotions, ointments, salves, washes and other local applications to the surface of the skin. So when you use such treatment for your tormenting skin diseases, the most you can expect is a temporary discontinuance if the pain, which promptly returns, and keeps you constantly applying the local remedies, making no progress whatever toward permanently lidding yourself of the disease. Why longer continue surA makeshift treatment? Go to your drugstore to-day and get a bottle of S. S. S., the reliable blood purifier, and begin a treatment that will prove satisfactory, as it has to thousands of others who were afflicted just as you have been. S. S. S. has been used for more than fifty years, so that you are not experimenting when you take it. It will counteract the germs that attack the skin and its tonic properties will build up th.Q general health. Don't continue to suffer, but begin taking S. S. S. to-day, and write our head physician, who will give you full instructions about your own case. Address Medical Director, 404 Swift Laboratory, Atlanta, Ga. Adv. J. E.
