The remedy was highly lauded by an eminent jurist, who obtained complete relief from its use. I am somewhat loath to employ or recommend secret or proprietary medicines or lotions not knowing their compound; but on investigating I was convinced of its harmlessness and eraployed it in some dozen or more cases with perfect satisfaction. A strange thing occurred during my observations, viz.: A member of my own family was suddenly afflicted with general eczema. I used EX-ZEMAFO freely v*?th the satisfaction of procuring both prompt and lasting relief. My sense of medical ethics would prevent me in tendering you this testimonial, but my feeling or gratefulness in having obtained both the product and necessary information from you, may perhaps justify my sending you this communication.
