brought her baby to the surface. In

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming IN contact with the
skin aud producing great redness and in
hammation little pustular eruptons form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin IS
hard, dry and 6ssured. Eczema IN any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching aud burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on FIRE. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains IN the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

TIE seuadroned troops of the Storm King
rolled
Up from the dark ming west:
With rumble of chariot wheels untold.
And glancing Of towering crest.
And deep In the wood the bluebell heard
And waited with dropping head.
While out from the tree the twitter1ng
bird
Into the thicket sped.
With flashing of many signal-light.
And mutter of martial drum,
He brought the conquering hosts of Night,
And the sun was overcome.
From hill and valley along his way
Were stricken the bonds of Heat
And not leaf or a twig or spray
But blessed his hurrying feet.
Till the work was done; and adown the Sky
He passed to the distance dim,
And drew his pennants. fiuttering high.
Beneath the horizons rim.
And deep In the wood the b!uebelrs face
Was covered with dewdrops DER;
The sun peeped out-from his hiding-place
And the redbird SANG once more.
