ITCHING OF ECZEMA 
As to the underlying causes of HEcze- 
ma, there are a number and variety of 
theories and explanations in the medical 
world. In fact, very 
respectable profes- 
sional support may 
be found for any one 
of several theories as 
to the origin and 
treatment of the dis- 
ease itself. But there 
is no divergence of 
opinion as to the ef- 
fects of Eczema and 
the urgency of relief 
from the almost un- 
bearable itching 
which usually accompanies the ailment. 
Here, at least, all authorities as well as 
sufferers are of one mind. They know 
that, independently of or in addition to 
any treatment of underlying causes, what 
is needed at once is something that will 
relieve the itching skin. 
Here is still another instance in which 
botanicals have proven their worth. The 
cooling and soothing qualities of our 
Witch Hazel Compound No. 514 will be 
welcomed by any sufferer from the Itch- 
ing and Burning of Eczema. Best results 
will be obtained if use of the Witch Hazel 
Compound is followed by liberal applica- 
tions of our No. 39 Absorbent Dusting 
Powder and by keeping water away from | 
the affected area. 
Of course, it is not our province, here 
or elsewhere, to attempt decision as to 
what is the true cause of EKczema. That 
is something for doctors to argue and 
determine. Nor do we offer any treat- 
ment for the disease itself, in the sense 
of underlying causes. We merely observe 
and suggest that mild laxatives and al- 
teratives are commonly employed in con- 
nection with such treatment and that bo- 
tanicals are excellent for those purposes. 
Our stock of mild botanical alteratives 
give you a chance to make your choice 
from among the following: Sweet Fern 
Leaves and Twigs, Echinacea Root, Yel- 
low Dock, Red Clover Flowers, Queen’s 
Delight, Rocky Mountain Grape, Bitter- 
sweet Twigs. The prepared formulas are 
No. 181, No. 600, No. 1000, No. 666. 
EMOLLIENT OINTMENT 
No. 163 
A very fine oimtment used largely as 
an emollient cataplasma or dressing for 
relief of the painful sensation of varicose 
veins, sprains, etc, It combines the anti- 
phlogistic pronerties of the particular 
volatile oils with the palliative and sooth- 
ing effects of the true balsams. It has 
the tendency to soothe and thereby pro- 
motes and accelerates the natural healing 
process of the affected tissue.
