BURNING ECZEMA.

» Itching Oozing Sores J. W. Skellard, of Giebarne, Blood Reeking with Poison. Seven Years of Agony Doctors Couldn't Cure Him Nβ SMa Disease Now Dr. Williams' Fink Pills "Th&re is hardly anyone connected tfith this church, from the minister down,~"tna.t <loes mot know how I suffered from Eczema," said J. W. Shellard, of the Chnrcii of England, Gisborne- "For seven long years, I bad this vile skin disease In Its worst form. I was one mass of itchiDg burning sores from bead to foot. At one time 1 was so bad that I couldn't do a stroke of work for seven weeks at a stretch. Every spare penny I had went on drugs and doctors—bat not one of them did mc any real good till I struck Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. It took ebcteen boxes of them too enre me—but they cured mc for good, as you can sec for yourself. " Everyone in Gisborne knows Mr Shellard as the honest old verger of the parish, church. For twenty-four years he has lived there, respected by all. Among the old residents of Christchurch, Lyttelton and Hokitika, he is known just as well and as favourably. He is a man who would never lend his name to any statement that was not true to the last word. "My blood must have been in a horrible state to make the Eczema break out on mc the way it did," said Mr SUellaxd. "FTom the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, I was on fire with it. Often I nearly ■went mad with the burning and itching. There wasnt an inch of my body that was not in agony with the sores. Every week I could feel a fresh lot of hard pimples pushing their way up through the skin. Then the skin cracked and the sores started to ooze and itch. I could not keep from scratching myself. Sometimes I felt that I could have torn my flesh to pieces. Half my body was covered, with the dry scales of the old sores—and everywhere else there were new sores bursting and festering. All my skin was raw, and burning like fury. For seven weeks I could not show my face outside the house. "I don't think that there was a single core that I didn't itiy—but none of them did mc auy real good," Mr Shellanl went on to say. "Even sulphur would not drive the disease out of my blood. As for patent soaps and ointments, the sores only thrived oQ them. They got so bad that 1 called In one doctOT after another, bat the best of them could not cure mc. I went to the Nuhaka Hot Springs, but when I came away the Eczema was worse than ever. My whole health suffered. 1 couldn't eat and I couldn't sleep. I was nothing more than a wreck. In spite of doctors and medicines, the Eczema kept spreading. You never saw such a horrible sight as I was. Wliere the sores were fresh my flesh was all red and. swollen. The Itching nearly d-rove mc frantic, till at last my nerves broke down. I grew thinner and weaker every mouth. Life wasn't worth living when I had to face this agony day in and day out. "I had given tip all hopes before I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," added the old verger. "I would never have spent another penny on medicine if I hadn't heard how they cured another case the very same as mine. Then I made up my mind to give them a fair trial, and got half-a-dozen boxes. Before the first box was finished, my appetite picked up. That showed that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were suited to my case. Every box after that helped mc along. The burning and the itching wasn't half so bad. Little by little the Eczema began to creep away. The sores healed up and left a clean skin behind them. There was no fresh crop of pimples to break out. I wan doing so well that I got another supply of Dr. Williams , Pink Pills. I kept on witJi them until my blood was jnst as healthy and my skin Just as clean as any man could wish. It took sixteen boxes to cure mc," added Mr Suellara, "but I have not had a single trace of Eczema from thnt day to this—so It's dear that Dr. Williams' Pink ptus have cured mc for good." There ronld be no greater proof about the power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a blood medicine. The only possible way to cure Eczema is to sweep out of the blood all the itching, festering poison that causes these sores. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills aJone can Co that, because they actually make new blood. They do just that one thing, bnt they do it well.
