There is no remedy like Burdock Blood Bitters for giving relief to such sufferers; no other remedy has done, or can do so much for those who are almost driven to distraction with the terrible torture. Apply it externally and it takes out the sting- ing, itching and burning, and pro- motes a healthy healing. § Take it internally and it gets at the source of the disease in the blood, and completely and perman- ently drives it out of the system. Miss Mary V. Chambers, Anagance Ridge, N.B., writes, *'I used Burdock Blood Bitters for eczema. [I had it when an infant, but it left me. Two years ago it came back. I used doe- tors' medicine, but it did good only while I used it. At last my face was nothing but a running sore. I saw in the paper what B.B. B. did for peo- ple. 1 took it, and today I am free from that terrible disease. Manufactured only by The T. Mil- burn Co..
