(: ITCH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
fammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any
form is a torrnenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other eSter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
It will keen the skin irritated

D0LLIVER'S NARROW ESCAPE.

The entire valley was foggy with
steam. The rear coach passed the
engine just ten feet. Senator Dolli-
yer says had the rear car stopped
twenty feet before it did that every
body in the car must have been scald-
ed to death.
Engine Crew Mansled.
Hurrying out and ahead it was
found the mail coach was burning and
the smoker had just begun to blaze.
1t was filled with men, The doors were
damned shut; the force of the sudden
impact had been sufficient to wrench
the seats from the floor and they had
slid and piled up in the front end, and
under and mingling with the seats
We're score of men. The side of the
car was torn away, seats pulled out
and human beings dragged from be-
meath the wreckage. A half dozen
were fatally injured and every man
more or less brushed. The victims
had hardly been rescued until the
flames were licking up the debris from
whence they had been taken. The en-.
gineer and firemen were killed and
mangled beyond recognition; the mail
clerks and baggage men fatally iniur-
ed, those in the coaches back of the
smoker escaping with only a terrific
shaking up. Inside half an hour af-
ter the train left the track there was
nothing left of the magnificent locomo-
tive and seven splendid coaches but a
mass of hot twisted iron and seven
piles of ashes.
