For burns and scslds nothing Is
more soothing than the white of an
egg, which may be poured over
the wound. 1t is softer as varnish
for a burn than collodlon, and being
always at hand can be applied i'm
mediately. 1t is also more cooling
than the sweet oil and cotton
which was formerly supposed to be
the surest application to ally pain.
It is the contact with the air which
gives the extreme discomfort ex.
perienced from the ordinary accl-
dent of this kind, and anything
which excludes the air aud pre-
vents Inflammation is the thing to
be applied.

A Scrap Of Paper Saves Her
Life.

1t was just an ordinary scrap Of
wrapping paper, but IL saved her
life. She was in the last stages Of
consumption, told by physicians
that she was incurable and could
only live a short time; she weighed
less than seventy pounds. On
piece OF wrapping paper she read
of DIR. Kings New Discovery, and
got sample bottle; 1t helped
her, she bought a large bottle, it
helped her more, bought another
and grew fast, continued its use
and is now strong, healthy, plump,
weighing 140 pounds. For fuller

Gentlemen The wife of one OF
nv customers was terribly afflicted
with lOathsome skin disease, that
covered her whole body. She vas
confined to her bed for several
years by this affliction, and could
not help herself at all. She could
not sleep from a violent itching
and singing of the skin. The dis.
ease bafiled the skill Of the physi.
clans who treated it. Her husband
began finally giving his wife Swift's

prove almost immediately, and in
a few weeks she was apparently
we'll. She is now hearty, fine.

affliction left.
