WHAT CURES ECZEMA?
We have had so many Inquiries
lately regarding ’'czema and other
skin diseases, tt we are glad to
make our answ pu c. After care
I ful investigation we have found that
; a simple wash of Oil of Wlntergreen,
i as compounded in D. D. D., can be re
I lied upon. We would not make this
! statement to our patrons, friends and :
j neighbors unless we were sure of it— I
and although there are many so-called
Eczema remedies sold, we ourselves
unhesitatingly recommend D. D. D.
Prescription.
Because—We know that it gives In
stant relief to that torturing itch.
Because—D. D. D. starts the cure at
the foundation of the trouble.
Because—It cleanses, soothes and
heals the skin.
Because—It enables Nature to repair
the ravages of the disease.
Because—The records of ten years
of complete cures of thousands of the
most serious cases show that D. D. D.
is today recognized as the absolutely
reliable Eczema cure.
Drop into our store today. Just to
talk over your case with us.
