AN AWFUL CASE OF ECZEMA

Promptly Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. — ♦ They Drove the Trouble out of this New Zealander's Blood. Persons who have Ecaama or other skin troubles causing disfiguring and irritating blotches and pimples, should aim a-t clearing their blood of the impurities - that . cause the trouble. They will never be cured until they do this. It is not reasonable to expect pastes and • ointments rubbed on the surface to clear the blood. They ' are really bad for the complaint. Greasy things only clog the pores of the skin. A cooling waeh 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 ne.v blood that drive* out; the impurities, and imparts a glow of health. There has just been reported a rather astonishing cure of a most severe oase of Eczema by Dr Williams' Pink Pills, particulars of which we give. The sufferer was Mr Ernest A. Troon, of Bedford st, Belfast, New Zealand. Ho saya: — " 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 & bnindage 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 armpit. I had a lump there as large as a hen's egg, and couldn't put. my erm down to my side. My forearm puffed oat to an enormous size, so did the finger and hand. You could make a dent tna* lasted several minutes. There was no pain only a mimb prickrv feeling. For some weeks I was treated at the hospital, but got no benefit. I tried all sorts of things, every possible remedy that I heard of. The "left arm and hand were covered with watery blisters and the itching of ihem nearly drove me mad. I went up to Hawke's Bay and consulted doctors, and yen got no cure. I would prick the Misters and let out the water, which was th© colour of pale tea. After it left the armi it spread all over my body, legs, and thighs, chest, and back. I was nearly frantic, and at times just a bundle of bandages. I don't know how I lived through it. My blood must have been in. an ewful state. I went to a skin specialist but I only got worse and worse, and I was laid up in bed fo teven long weeks. Larga blisters kept 'orming and the flesh below was red and angry looking. I had to be most careful over my diet. When I waa laid up my mates used to come over and keep me company, and recommend > various remedies, salad oil. alum water, sulphur, lard, etc., but all in vain. I had poultices, too. My fekin seemed literally on fire— l'd feel like tearing myself to pieces. I could never enjoy myself or get any pleasure out of life. My ekin 1 was covered with thousands of tiny blisters. After going to various doctors, and spending ever penny I could spare and more, I read of a case of Eczema up at Gisbrone 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, and the fiery pain decreasing. The skin became much less tender and far more healthy looking. At Easter I was aotuabh* • able to go to the races and wear ordinary tight boots. I owe my recovery solely to Dr Williams' Pink Pills. My general health is vastly better. I eat splendidly}and feel as fit a3 ever."
