TERRIFYING DISCOMFORTS
FROM SKIN DISEASES
Itching and Burning Eruptions
Torture Victims.
If your skin seems ablaze with
the fiery, burning and itching of
Eczema, real and lasting relief can
only come from treatment that
goes below the surface that
reaches down to the .very source
of the trouble. Skin-diseases come
from a disordered condition of the
blood, and search far and near,
you cannot find a blood remedy
that approaches S. S. S. for real
efficiency. S. S. S. has been on the
market for fifty years, during
which time it has been giving uni
form satisfaction for all disorders
for which it is recommended. If
you want prompt relief, you can
rely upon S. S. 5. For expert ad
vice as to the treatment of your
own individual case, write to-day
