Mr.. e. D. Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ga, says
that his daughter, Ida, inherited a severe
case of Eczema, which the usual mercury
and potash remedies failed to relieve.
Year by year she was treated with various
medicines, external applications and in
ternal remedies, without result. Her suf-
ferings were intense and her condition
grew steadily worse. All the so-called
blood remedies did not seem to reach the
disease at all until $. S. S. was given,
when IN Improvement was at once noticed.
The medicine was continued with favor
able results, and now she is cured sound
and we'll, her skin is perfectly clear and
pure, and she has been saved from what
threatened to blight her life forever.

GEORGE ". UARDMAN. Sheriff
The San Francisco call., 1898-06-12

How did we feel under fire? Why, just full of fun. The boys were sing ing, and down on the berth deck, where the batteries were being held in while we were at work in the turrets and on the spar deck. There was singing and cheering and some of us enjoyed good smokes while the firing was going on.
 Suddenly a shell burst over our heads and there came a rain of metal. The doctor rushed up from the sick bay and asked the chaplain if anybody had been hurt
 "The chaplain said Yes and they took three of us below. That stopped the gayety for while, and some of the boys crowded down to see how bad ly we were hurt. They went back to as they saw the damage done by the next gun they cheered harder than ever.
 we didn't fire so many shots at the forts The Spaniards wasted an aw- full lot on us. We just fooled them. The ships on which pieces of shells fell were not the ones they aimed at. We were sailing in column in a circle and firing when we got in line with our ob- ject. At first we went by at twenty one hundred yards. The Spaniards tried to get that range. and I suppose they got 1t, but our next move was to go in at eighteen hundred yards, and the shells from the forts went over us. Of course, some of the ships going around the circle were at the twenty one hundred yard distance while we were farther in. That was how the New York and Iowa happened to be hit by bursting shells. The Spaniards aimed at the inside ships, they thought, and went away over them
 How did you feel when you were hit and what did you do?" I asked Mitchell.
 'T didn't feel at au," he said, 'but something made me whirl around. I didn't know what 1t was and went back to my gun. I worked there for a while and enjoyed a quiet smoke, and then somebody called my attention to my coat and the red on 1t. I felt sore then, and knew I had been hit. The shot was a mistake, though, because the Spanish gunners never hit what they aim at"

 A bullet entered his mouth and tore a terrible exit through his left cheek He is up. however, and cheerful, though now and again the pain is so great that tears are forced from his eyes and the torture of talking is awful
 Yes" he said, when l asked him to tell me about his experience, they had us in a tough place, and if they had been any good we never would have got back to the Marblehead alive. We left the ship, some of us in a steam launch and others in a sailing launch. From the Nashville men were sent In the same fashion.
 We were picked-that is, we were volunteers. I got into 1t because I have lots of medals as a marksman and wanted to show that I could hit Spaniards as well as targets. We went out to cut those cables under orders, and we did it-all but one, and that doesn't amount to anything, because it only runs to Santiago. Of course we were under the guns of the cruiser and the gunboat, but, then, we ran in about forty feet from the shore and could see the whiskers of the Spaniards once in a while before we got views of their retreating backs. But I guess I'll have to give it up now. This mouth of mine where the Mauser hit me is be- ginning to howl for me to stop.
 How does it feel to be hit by a Mau- ser? can't just tell you that, be- cause I don't know. I just didn't have any head at all. You see, I was kneel- ing in the boat and taking aim. Oh, I had a beautiful bead on a Spaniard who showed above the bushes. The

me-" he said T was slated to die, but here l am and I'll be fighting again if they don't hurry up and finish this war. You see this plaster in front of me cov- CTS an end of a hole that goes right through me. The other end Is in my back. See" and he showed me sim liar plaster but larger, that covered the place where the Mauser made it's exit.
 While Hendrichsen was showing his wonderful wound to me a man in a neighbOring bed sat up. His head was swathed in bandages and he could not talk, but at a sign from him Jack" Davis briefly told me his story His name is Robert Volz, his home San Francisco and his ship the Nashville. He was hit six times" said Davis, and two bullets made wicked tracks in his head. Others grazed his body, a couple of them just being far enough out to miss his heart, but they made their marks just above 1t. He'll be all right in a few weeks"
 J. J. Doran of Fall River, Mass, a boatswainS mate on the Marblehead was also in the hospital. He was sleep ing while l was a visitor there. His in- juries are not serious.
 From the barracks hospital I went to the convent, which has been turned over to the Government, and there
 
 San Juan. First was George Merkle of New York, a private of marines, who was so badly wounded in the right arm that the doctors cut it off last Sunday. Only two of the men there were able to tell their story. They were John Engle of Baltimore and John Mitchell of New York, both able seamen. Mitchell was wounded by a fragment of shell that tore to his ribs on the right side and Engle carried crutches because of a damaged right foot.
 'The bombardment of San Juan," said Engle, was mostly amusement for the men on the Iowa. We didn't lose a shell we sent toward the bat teries, because, you see, ever since the Maine was blown up we have had tar get practice nearly every day and we had no excuse for wasting ammuni- tion.
 q remember that I heard one man who was at gun with me say every time she was fired, I wonder how many Spaniards that hit?'
