AWFUL PSORIASIS ss YEARS.
Terrible scaIy Humor in Patches All
Over the 6ody-skin Cracked and
eleeding-cured by cutlcura.

Il was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-hve years. 1t was in patches
all over my body. l used three cakes
OF Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Oint-
ment and two bottles of Resolvent.
In thirty days was completely cured,
and l think permanently, as it was
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made its appearance in red spots,
generally forming circle, leaving in
the center spot about the size Of
silver dollar of sound flesh. In short
time the affected circle would form
heavy dry scale of white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off. To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four hours
1t was worse on my arms and limbs,
although it was in spots all over my
body. also on my scalp. II I let the
scales remain too long without remov-
ing by bath or otherwise. the skin
would crack and bleed. / suffered in
tense itching, worse at nights after
getting warm in bed. or blood warm
by exercise. when it would be almost
unbearable. w. NJ. Chidester, Hutch

Miss KoteMsDOnolf,

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits. reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything. backache,
bearing down pains, fatulency, nerv-
ousness, sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never. failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Woodbridge,
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
Restored health has meant so much to me
that cannot help from telling about it for
the sake of other suffering women.

with female trouble and irregularities,
which made me physical wreck. and no one
thought would recover, but Lydia E. Pink

cured me, and made me well and strcng, and
feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what spleEdid medicine it is"

THE TRADES-UNION
AS Reviewed By Rev. DR.. Washington
GLADDEN..

The Congregationalist contains a
lengthy paper by the Rev. DR..
Washington GLADDEN., entitled
"NIy Neighbor the Unionist.''
The author takes positive and
strong ground in favor of labor
unions, holding that they are not
only an indisputable right of the
workingmen, but that they are the
only means by which the laboring
classes can escape being enslaved
or degraded, and that they protect
their own interests, secure fair
hours of labor and proper remun-
erection and fix their social status
in accordance with the best ideals
and habits of the age.
/ From this standpoint DIR. Glad
den urges all employers to welcome
and cooperate with the trades
unions.
.:Perhaps," says DR.. GLADDEN.,
ssyou viii say that some trades
unionists sometimes behave like
criminals and endanger the peace
and welfare of society. That is
true. 1t is also true of ministers

QUACK MEDICINE
Which Result In Untold Evil Is a
Substantiation of
Organized Labor's Demand for Legis-
lation for the Protection of
the Masses.

The revelations made by Upton
Sinclair, in "The Jungle,n about
the unspeakable filthiness of the
packing houses in Chicago and
elsewhere. the adulteration and
poisoning of the food product of
the nation, and the corrupting in
huences of. these corporations,
seems to have it's counterpart in
many other industries. The health
and lives of the people are being
sacrificed every day in order that
and dividends may be obtained.
More reyolting than the revelations
made in reference to the packing
house industry are the investiga-
tions made by Golfers Weekly
touching on the manufacture of
patent medicines, products which
it would be naturally supposed
would require carefulness in manu-
facture, and freedom from poisons,
at least. Read what the Golfers
Weekly, in its issue of April 2S,
