Eczema!
The Only Cure,

Eczema is more than q skin disease,
and no skin remedies can cure it. The
doctors are unable to effect cure, and
their mineral mixtures are damaging
to the most powerful constitution. The
whole trouble is in the blood, and
Swift's Specific is the only remedy
which can reach such deep-seated blood
diseases.

So far the Henderson, field has the best
record for producing wells of all the 9TH
or fields now being developed. In all the
two years WORK in this field which now
covers a large area of territory there
has not been a half dozen busters. The
wells, as a general thing, are not what
might be termed gushers, but are good,
steady producers that have splendid stay
ing qualities. Some Of the latest addi-
TORS may be classed as Sushers. espec-
tally one of them that is doing about 800
barrels a day. 1t is the most inviting
field IN the State to-day, and as soon as
the roads are passable it will surpass all
others in new work. Things VIII be boom
ing in that field this coming summer.
Then the shallow field back of Williams
town is making a. great record lately.
