Awful Suffering Of a Boy
from an itching
HumOuT.
CURED BY CUTICURA
Not One Square Inch of Skin on
His Whole Body Was
Unaffected.

My little son, a boy of FIVE, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college, but
It's treatment did not do any good. At
the time was induced to try Cuticura
Remedies he was so bad that had to
cut his hair off and put the Cuticura
ointment on him ON bandages, as 1t was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
OF skin on his whole body that was not
affected. He was one mass of sores.
The bandages used to stick to his skin
and In removing them it used to take
the skin off with them, and the screams
rom the poor child were heart-break-
Ing. l began to think that he would
never get well, but after the second
application of Cuticura Ointment l
began to see signs of Improvement,
and with the third and fourth applca-
OoDs the sores commenced to dry up.
his skin peeled off twenty times, but 1t
nnally yielded to the treatment. / used
the Cuticura Resolvent for his blood,
and now can say that he is entirely
cured, and stronger and healthier boy
you never saw than he is to-day"

PRESIDENTS WILL TOUR
THE A. & B. AND THE B. e. B. K. X. S

Brunswick, Ca, Feb. S.-Bird M.
Robinson, president of the Brunswick
and Birmingham Railroad, arrived in
the city this morning, and after spend
ing several hours in the general Offices
of the road, left for Waycross, together
with Gen. Manager Berry. At that
place it is understood that they will
join President Raoul and General Man
ager Wadley. of the Atlantic and Bir-
mingham, and together the officials
will make an inspection over the two
lines.
1t is known that President Robinson
is South in the interest Of the pending
deal between the two lines. Managers

TRUE BILL RETURNED
AGAINST JULIAN r. LANE

Macon, Ca, Feb. B-The Bib
county grand jury to-day returned a
true bill against Julian r. Lane, for
mer general manager of the Macon
and Birmingham Railroad.
There is a reticence about the Court
House officials as to the verbage in
the charge. 1t is known, however,
that the treasury of the Macon and
Birmingham Railroad is minus some
thing like $4,000, and it is equally
well-known that this shortage has
been charged by the former general
the auditor is equally positive in his
assertion that the discrepancy is due
to the one-time general manager.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-02-09

Berry and Wadley will probably to-
morrow begin the work of appraising
the value of the property of the two
lines. This will take several days,
after which time 1t is expected that
some definite announcement will be
made concerning the deal.
President Robinson, while in the city
to-day, did not give out anything
whatever on the subject. However,
that these lines will be merged at an
early date there is little doubt. 1t is
thought that the roads will be operated
under the name of the Atlantic and
Birmingham, and that the headquar-
tiers will be in this city.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-02-09

So far no return has been made by
the grand jury on the accusation in
which ex-Auditor Henderson's name
is written.
Up to a late hour tonight no wars
rant had been served upon the ex-gen-
eral manager Neither has the amount
of a bond yet been assessed. That
Lane will be able to present safe and
secure bond in almost any amount is
a fact practically realized.
True Bill Against Perkins.
The grand jury found true bill
against Fred Perkins, whose assault
upon young BULGE of Atlanta has made
that lad an imbecie for life after the
best surgical attention of the city had
snatched him, as it WERE. from the
grave.

LORD MAYORS FRILLs.
He. Doesn't Take the Dust of Any
Man in London, Not Even the King.

He Doesn't Take the Dust of Any
Man In London, Not Even the King.
From the St. James Gazette.
AS matters now stand the Lord Mayor
takes precedence not only of all peers,
but of the reigning sovereign within
the precincts of the city. He has the
right of private audience with the mon
arch, and, as a privy councillor, is sum-
moned on the death of England's ruler.
To become Lord Mayor he must have
previously served as an alderman. If
on election he refuses the civic chair
he has to pay a fine of f1,000. No one
is chosen who has any blot on his pri-
waite character, and in case of bank
ruptcy or compromising with creditors
an alderman is passed over until he
has paid 20 shillings in the pound to
his creditors.
The election of Mayor is subject to
the approval of the crown, and If any
public fast is ordered by the sovereign
the Mayor and corporation attend st.
Pauls Cathedral in black robes. The
Lord Mayor has the badges of royalty
attached to his office in the scepter, the
swords OF justice and mercy and the
mace. The golden chain which he
wears is one of the most ancient hon
orary distinctions, and can be traced
to Eastern origin and manner of con-
ferring dignity, instances of which we
find in the Old Testament.
Formerly the Mayors during their
term of office used to reside in their
own private houses, which in past days
were always in the city itself, and
therefore within easy access of the
Guildhall. Now the Mansion House is
set apart for the Lord Mayors resi-
dence for the year The first stone of
the Mansion House was laid in 1888, the
house and furniture costing f7O,9S5 1Ss
"a.
The annual expenses connected with
the Office amount to about $4,000 of
which about 10000 is the sum allowed
by the corporation, the remainder COM
ing out of the Mayors private purse.

have an idea of the continuous motion

product of an imagination more riot

created the other items Of their

naturally, know nothing of the valves

No Chinese representative of the
healing art has ever dissected any por-
ton of the human frame. According
ly their ideas of anatomy and physi-
ology are matters of faith-confirmed
by images which have been reproduc-

ology teaches that the skull is formed
of one bone so is the pelvis; the num-
Der of ribs varies with the individual,
and at the junction of the arm with
the forearm is placed cubital patella.
According to Chinese splanchology,
the small intestine communicates with
the cavity of the heart, while the
colon, after describing sixteen circum-
volutions, terminates by opening into
the lung. The heart governs the vital
processes-in cooperation with the
cavity of the stomach it supplies all
