Il wish to inform you that your

my son. AS an infant noticed on
his body red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years. but when the spot began to
get larger I put him under the care
OF doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
OF his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse 1t became. Dur
ing the day 1t would get rough and
form like scales. At night 1t would
be cracked. inflamed. and badly swol-
len. with terrible burning and Itch.

1t nearly breaks my heart His
screams could be heard downstairs
The suffering OF my son made me
full of misery. / had no ambition to
work. to eat. nor could sleep
One doctor told me that my son s
eczema was incurable. and gave 1t up
for bad job. One evening l saw an
article in the paper about the wonder
fu Cuticura and decided to give 1t a
trial. tell you that Cut!cura Ointment
Is worth its weight in gold. and when
had used the first box OF Ointment

POTENT LIQUOR IS SAKE.
lafcadio Hearn's Testimony a. 4
Strength Of Japanese Wine.

There is no liquor in the world upon
which a man becomes SO quickly in
toxicated as Japanese sake (rice
wine). and yet none OF which the ef-
fects last SO short a time. The in
toxication Is pleasant as the effect Of
opium or hasheesh. 1t Is soft. pleas
ant. luminous exhilaration. everything
becoming brighter. happier lighter;
then you get very sleepy.
At Japanese dinners it Is the rule to
become slightly exhilarated. but not to
drink enough to talk thickly or walk
| crooked. The ability to drink at ban
Quets requires practice-long practice.
There are banquets of many kinds.
| and the man who Is invited to one at
which extensive drinking may be ex-
pected Is careful to start in upon an
empty or almost empty stomach. By
not eating one can drink a good deal.
The cups are very small and OF many
curious shapes. One may be expected
to empty so. A quart OF sake is a good
deal; two quarts require iron nerves
to stand. But among the japanese
there arc wonderful drinkers. At q
military officers banquet a captain
offered me tumbler holding a good
] pint OF sake. I almost tainted at the
sight OF 1t, for 1t was only the first.
But friend said to me: "Only drink
a little and pass 1t back" which did.
