Eczema.

with eczema. The doctors at first called
1t erysipelas. I was treated by physi-
clans, was dured by Swift's Specific.

ne trouble with 1t since. | refused to
take 1t, even after 1t was recommended
to me by others, tor some time-such
was my prejudice to the name of 1t; but
having tried it myself, I now believe il
is the best blood purifier in all my knowl-
edge. 1t did another thing for me.

Children's Day.

Yesterday was children's day in the
Methodist churches of the city and services
appropriate to the occasion were held, the
exercises consisting of floral offerings and
psalms of JOY and praise.
The second Sunday in June of each
year is, by the authority of the Methodist
general conference, recognized by the
Methodists everywhere as Children's Day.
1t originated in the celebration of the cen
tennial of American Methodism in the
year 1866. A considerable amount of
money was contributed that year in the
Sunday schools of the church, and was
called the children's fund The general
conference of 1868 appointed board Of
education, and il was made part of their
duty to receive, invest and augment this
Sunday school children's fund for the
purpose of assisting needy and 'meritor-
ious Sunday school scholars in obtaining
a more advanced education Since the
organization of this society over $500
young people have been aided to the
amount of 100000.

Here is valuable hint for the health
authorities in this city. Measures too

possible. The board of health at Daven,

of the Health Commission.

Intelligence has been received in the
three cities that on board the steamship
Polynesia, which arrived in New York on
Wednesday last, were number of pas
sengers who had been exposed to small
pox on board the vessel, some of whom
had been down with it--and were ticket
ed for this locality The vessel had been
quarantincd and all the passengers placed
on Wards island. The passengers bound
for Davenport were twenty-three in mum.
Der, besides two for Rock Island and one
for Moline. With the party of emigrants
in quarantine is woman whose husband
died on the ship with the disease, and
who has three children This family was
also ticketed for Davenport.
In consequence of the above news, a
special meeting of the board of health
across the river was held Saturday, and
the following recommendations were
presented and unanimously adopted;
recommend that an effort be made
to prevent the infected persons from
coming here, but if not successful in this,
would recommend that arrangements be
made to watch the trains and convey the
individuals in question, Immediately on
their arrival, to the contagious disease
building ON the Mercy hospital grounds,
using the closed city conveyance, and
first notifying the sisters to have the
wards in readiness. All their baggage and
effects should be taken with them, and
when notified, | will vaccinate such as
need it.
All passengers of the affected ship who
may be booked for, or wish to stop at
Davenport, should be provided for as
above stated, till all danger is past, and
not sent on into the state to spread the
disease, for fear of expense to our city or
county. c. II. PRESTON,
