For about 15 rears I bad been
afflicted with Eczema and bad
tried many remedies to very
little purpose, ud no cure.
Somewbat In desperation, I
tried D. D. D. I was soon con
vinced before the bottle waa
ball emptr that I bad at last
found mtitidn that tnM not
dtefption. I persevered. Now I
bave a little left of a third bottle
and am entirely cured of the
Eczema, and for seven months
bave bad no symptoms of its
return.
The annoyance was so great
and lonit -continued, and the
cure so complete that I feel it
my duty to make known the
above facts to the publie that
others similarly afflicted may
make trial of this remedy.
