AN AWFUL CASE OF ECZEMA Promptly Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. * hey Drove the Trouble out of this New Zealander's Blood. Persons who have Eczema or other skin troubles causing disfiguring end irritatii g blotches and pimples.should aim at clearing their blood of the impurities that cause the trouble. They will never be cured until they do this. It is not reasonable U> expect pastes and ointments rubbed on the surface to clear the blood. Thty arcreally bad for the cornplainh Greasy things only clog the pores of the skin. A cooling wash may be useful to relieve the itching but that is all. Something for the blood is needed. Dr Williams' Pink Pills have' cured many cases of eczema and skin disorder because they make rich new blood that drives out the impurities, and imparts a glow of health. There has jjst been reported a rather astonishing cure of a most severe case of Eczema by Dr Williams' Pink Pills, particulars of which we give. The sufferer was Mr Ernest A. Troon, of Bedford Street, Belfast, N.Z. He says:— | "I don't think any one had sounder health than I did, but how I contracted eczema was this way. I cut my knuckle badly while working, and it was bound up with a bandage that was not clean Two days after, the second finger on the left hand started to swell. The swelling went round the wrist to the elbow and up to the arm pit. I had a lump there as large as a hen egg, and couldrit' put my arms down to my side. My for arm puffed out to an enormous size, so did the finger and hand. You could make a dent that lasted several minutes. There was no pain, only a numb prickly feeling. For some weeks 1 i was treated at the hosDital, but got no benefit. I tried all sorts of things, every possible remedy that 1 heard of. The left arm and hand were covered with fjwatery blisters and the itching of them nearly drove me mad, I went up to Bay and consulted doctors, and yet got no cure. I would prick the blisters and let out tie water, which wa3 the colour of pale tea. After it left the arm it spread all over my body, legs and thighs, chest and back. I was nearly frantic, and'at times just a bundle uf bandages. I don't know how 1 lived through it. My blood must have been in an awful state, i went to a skin specialist but I only got worse and worse, and I was laid up in bed for seven long weeks. Large blisters kept forming and the flesh below was red and angry looking. I had to be moat careful over my diet. When I was laid up my mates used to come over and keep me company, and recommer.ij various remedies, salad oil, alum water, sulphur, lard, etc., but all in vain. I had poulti - 5 s too. My skill seemed literally on ire—l'd feel like tearing myself to pieces. I could uever enjoy myself or get any pleasure out of life. My skin was covered with thousands of tiny blisters. After going to various doctors, and spending every penny I could spare and more, I read of a case of Eczema up at Gisborne being cured by Dr Williams' Pink Pills and that decided me to give them a trial. First of all I found the irritation getting less, a»id the fiery pain decreasing. The skin became much less tender and far more healthy looking. At Easter I was actually able to go to the and wear ordinary tight boots. 1 owe my recovery solely to Dr Williams' Pink Pills. My general health is vastly better. I eat splendidly and feel as fit as ever." Dr Williams' Pink Pi,l s are 3s a box, 6 boxes 16s 6d of. all dealers or Dr Williams' Medicine Go. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington. ,
