ANY OTHE~R jf4%SE IN H4S Eczema is a tormenting, stubborn TN E disease caused by an acid humor in the blood coming in contact with the skin and producing redness, inflam mation and almost intolerable itching. An inactive state of the system and sluggish condition of the eliminative members leaves the waste and refuse matter of the body to collect and sour instead of passing tnem off through nature's channels of bodily waste. The blood in its efforts to purge the sys tem of all foreign matter absorbs this acid and throws it off through the pores and glands of the skin. The acrid humor seems to ,ooze out and set the skin on fire, the straw colored, sticky fluid drying and forming crusts, and the itching is intense. When these pustules are scratched off tne skin is left raw and feverish and often a solid sore is formed and kept up by the constant escape of acids from the blood. Local applications of salves, pow ders, lotions etc. are desirable and should be used because they allay the itching and give the sufferer temporary comfort, but are in no sense curative, because they cannot reach the seat of thle trouble, which is in the blood. S. S. S. goes down into the blood, cleanses SSthe circulation of all acids and humors, builds* up the thin, sour blood and by removing eves7 vestige of the cause cures Eczema permna 0 * nently.
