How to Get
of Eczema
If you bruise your hand, you will no
tice that a scab forms, and when it
falls off, new skin has formed. Did
salve do It? Not Skin Is the same as
muscle, bone, sinew, ligament. All are
tnado from the blood, from the ma
terials that your stomach and Intes
tines convert from food Into what we
call blood. And this blood circulates
In the myriad of tiny blood vessels In
the skin. Start from your stomach,
where blood materials begin, and It
won't be lone before you are free of
ccxema. Use S. S. a for a short time,
and not only will eczema disappear,
but tho entire blood will be renowed.
There is one Ingredient In S. 8. 8.
which serves the active purpose of
stimulating each cellular part of the
body to the healthy, Judicious selection
of its own essential nutriment. That
Is why It regenerates the blood supply;
why It has such a tremendous Influence
In overcoming eczema, rash, pimples,
and all sltln afflictions.
' Get a bottle of S. a S. at any drug
store, and you will not only feel bright
and energetic, but you will be the pic
ture of new life. S. 8. a is prepared
only in the laboratory of The Swift
