When the skin of 'an cczema suffevor itches and burns in untold agony, do you know what is going on within the pores of that:skin ? - Myriads of miscroseopic animals are gnawing at the flesh, breaking down the fine cells 'and causing festers, thick scales and that terrible itch. The germs multiply faster than nature can. throw them off. Now, there is only one way to get rid of these germw--they must be kill- ed in their lodging places. Dosing the stomach or trying to cure ithe blood will not, oi'course, kill' the germs, and that is why all the blood remedies fail in eczema; that is also why salves which do not penetrate can do no per- manent oud of .
