DREADFUL ECZEMA

Cured by Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills. That torturing and disfiguring disease has its cause in an impure condition of the blood. The impure condition of the blood often arises from a discased condition of the stomach and allied organs of digestion, and nutrition. When digestion is imperfect the nutrition of the body is inadequate to its needs. The blood becomes thin, poisons accumulate in it, and, these poisons often manifest themselves in some eruptive. discase. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills cure diseases of the stomach, and other organs of digestion and nutrition. They eliminate poisonous substances from the blood, purifying it, and increasing its quality and richness. They get at the cause and cure perfectly diseases of the blood, and other complaints which originate in a disordered stomach.

They are perfect Blood Burifler and a positive and permanent cure for Biliousness, Indigestion, Constipation, Head- Babas, Sallow Complexion, Liver and Kidney Troubles, Piles, Pimples, Bolts, and Blotches,and forPenada Ailments.
