SIMPLE CURE FOR ECZEMA

If you are one of those unfortunates
who have doctored for long time or
have suffered in silence with any of
those dreaded forms of skin disease,
ask yourself why you have not tried
that refreshing, soothing external
liquid, d. d. d. Prescription.
Don't dose the stomach-cure the
skin through the skin.
After washing with d. D. d. soap
apply few drops Of d. D. d. Pre-
scription and there is INSTANT re-
lief!
For three years l have suffered in
waited case of eczema of the hands,
known as letter" writes E. Clifton
Taylor, of Germantown, Philadelphia.
1.-THE itching and burning at times was
almost. unbearable, and everything I
used-salves, ointments and washes
only added to my discomfort.
"Then I Immediately began the sys-
tematic use of d. D. D. Prescription

now, after the use Of six bottles am

II am recommending ID. d. ID. soap

No more dosing the stomach with
useless drugs. No more smearing Of
greasy ointments on yourself to vex
your temper and strain your clothes.
A simple wash, and your agonies ana
sufferings disappear and with 1t soon

CHARLESTON, Wash, Aug. L.
While talking with A. J. Carver yes
terday Afternoon. as to how he. was
pleased with the recent ore test. made
at the reduction works, Mr.. Carver
gave out the following information:
Il am highly PLEASED with the late
test run at the reduction works. The
result was better than / expected be-
cause as everything was new we did
not consider it would work perfectly
the first time. The extraction of cop
per was almost 80 per cent. and it Is
evident from what was accomplished
when the flow of solution is rightly
guaged, the heat we'll applied, the ore
crushed as fine as desired. and a little
more experience in handling the flow
Of solution, practically a clean sweep
can be made on copper.
1t Is possible that to make q COM
plete satisfactory recovery OF gold the
ore will have to be subjected to q Sec
ond treatment Of cyanide. But as the
ore win be very finely crushed and
handled automatically, the extra cost
will be small. and the copper treat
ment Is so Inexpensive that the entire
cost will enable US to have great adj
vantage over the shelters on such ore
as we can handle. Besides we can do
the work right at the mine, thereby
avoiding all transportation charges.
The company has not made any final

can not give you anything definite
now on that line, except to say that
plant will be installed at some mine
as soon as possible.
"The rooster, ore tank and ore and
solution separators are my inventions
but the washington, Idaho and Ore
gon Reduetion company have the right
for the states named. have made an
improvement of considerable valtie. in
another rooster and ore tank, and an
son as / get matters in hand. shall
organize a company to handle these
inventions In the rest Of the United
States and in Canada and Mexico.
"Those connected with the WASH
ington, Idaho and Oregon Reduction,
company have had a long. hard and at
times discouraging pull. but I believe
all feel now that they have mastered
the situation, and will soon have a
business that will richly reward them
for their time. and will be Of untold
benefit to the. mining interests of the
