WHAT A BLESSING. What a blessing it is. Sought after by thousands. ' > People are finding it out. ' Many a. miserable man is happy now. Nights of unrest, days of trouble. . Any irritating skin disease means this. Piles mean-it.

Eczema, just as bad and just as hard to cure.

But Loan's Ointment does it. Relieves at once and cures if you use it long enough.. A specific for any irritation of-tho Bkin. A blessing for a suffering public. Hera's proof of it:—

Mrs. Hon»itv7s Pitt Stroet, Eedforn, Sydnoy, New South Wales, says: "I sont for a pot of Doan's Ointment and used it for Eczema on my daughter's forehead. Tho rash covored tho brow completely, and it was round tho oyo as well. Tho itching was frightful, and she could got no rest from it day- or night. I had used soveral preparations previous to' getting Doan's Ointment, but none of them gave more than .passing relief. I am pleased to tell you that Doan'a Ointment cured her completely. Wo have since used it on another little girl.w,iith equally good results. Doan's Ointment is splendid, l and I advise its use in all itching, skin diseases. It gave instantaneous relief and healed rapidly." Ten years later Mrs. Horwitz states! "My daughter is still right; she has been cured ten years now. Tho doctor who treated her. said that the eczema would return every winter, but he was wrong, as'time has proved." No ono who has not felt the torture of eczema can for a moment imagine the marvellous senso of relief that follows the use of Doan's Ointment. Then don't go on suffering; get this grand romedy to-day. Doan's Ointment cures Eczema, Piles, Hives, Soros, Insect Bites, Chilblains, otc, and is sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s. per pot, or will be posted on receipt of jmce.by FosterM'Clellan Co., 76 Pitt Street.
