The Brooklyn Citizen prints an expe-
rlence of man who Travelled all over
Europe and declares that he did not
meet but one person who hesitated
over the acceptance of Il fee:
was wandering through an OLD
graveyard in an English town and had
stopped before n stone which had not
been long in place. A man who must
have been following me stepped up and
said:
''Ah. sir, but she who lies here will
be missed for years to come! She was
for half a lifetime the president of the
charity board
In an absentminded way | handed
him sixpence, said the traveller. He
received it, turned it over In his hand
In hesitating way and finally STAN
mered:
"As she was my own wife, sir and
as was here To plant flowers on her
grave, perhaps it would not be exactly
proper to accept fee"
l replied that but fer him might
never have known about her being
president of the board. and he swal-
lowed his serupes and pecketed the
sixpence with one motion and with evil
dent satisfaction.

ORIGIN OF Ailxlntl,.

remedy.
1t was a French physician who first
used it, His name was Ordinaire, and
he was living as a refugee at Couvet,
in Switzerland, at the close of the
eighteenth century. Like many other
country doctors at that time, he was
also a druggist, and his fayorite rene

Which lac alone had the secret.
At his death he bequeated the for

necessary for connecting 1t, and after
they had distilled certain quantity of

posed of it in the adjacent towns and
villages
Finally, during the first decade of the
nineteenth century; wealthy dlstlller
purchased the formula ana very soon
afterward he placed on The market the
modern ahsinth. which differs greatly
from the old medical remedy, since the
latter contained no alcohol aud very
little absinth.

EGZE.IMEAyS
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
iammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and Gssured. Eczema in any
form is tormenting, 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 exter-
nal applications do any real good for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
1t will keep the skin irritated.

the request of the reporter made aifi-
davit to his above statement before
James III. Dege, notary public on
July 5, 1901.
There is popular idea that rhenma-
tism is caused by exposure to cold and
that some localities are infected with
it more than others. Such conditions
frequently promote the development of
the disease, but from the fact that
rheumatism runs in certain families,
1t is shown to be hereditary and, con-
sequently, disease OF the blood.
Frequently an individual in whose
family rheumatism has not occurred,
develops the disease, and when dag
nosis of the case is made it is gener-
ally found that the ailment is due to a
arrangement of the blood.
External applications may afford
temporary relief, but TO cure the dis
ease it is necessary to treat it through
the blood
