.Ho Torture to the attention is often paid to
. Equal symptoms of Eczema , but it is not long
before the little redness begins to itch and
burn. This is but the beginning , and will
Itching and of
Burning
lead to suffering and torture almost unen
durable. It is a common mistake to regard
This Fearful Disease a roughness and redness of the skin as
, merely a local irritation ; it is but an indica
tion of a humor in the blood of terrible
Eczema which is more than skin-deep , and can not bo reached by local appli
cations of ointments , salves , etc. , applied to the surface. The disease itself ,
the real cause of the trouble , is in the blood , although all suffering is produced
through the skin ; the only way to reach the disease , therefore , is through
the blood.
Mr. Phil T. Jones , of Mixersville , Ind. , writes :
"I had Eczema thirty years , and after a great deal
of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave me
constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore , and
began to spread nnd grow worse. For the past five or
six years I have suffered untold agony and hud given up
all hope of ever being free from the disease , as I have
been treated by some of the best physicians nnd have
taken many blood medicines , all in vain. With little
faith left I began to take S. S. S. , and it apparently
made the Eczema worse , but I knew that this was the
way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing
S. a. S. , the sore healed up entirely , the skin became
clear and smooth , and I was cured perfectly. "
Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is
only a tonic. Swift's Specific
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they can
not reach. It got-a to the bottom to the cause of the disease and will cure
the worst case of Eczema , no matter what other treatment has failed. It ia
the only blood remedy guaranteed to he free from potash , mercury or any
other mineral , and never fails to cure Eczema , Scrofula , Contagious Blood
Poison , Cancer , Tetter , Rheumatism , Open Sores , Ulcers , Boils , etc. Insist
upon S. S. S. ; nothing can take its place.

I am very pleased to state that since I took
the agency of Chamberlain's medicines the
sale has been very large , ore especially of
the Cough Remedy. In two years 1 have sold
more of this particular remedy than of all
other makes for the previous five years. As
to its efficacy , I have been informed by scoies
of persons of the good results they have re
ceived from it and know its value from the
use of it in my own family. It is so pleasant
to take that we have to place the bottle beyond -
yond the reach of the children.
