From the age Of three months until
fifteen yearp old. my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema In its
worst form. In spite Of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part OF his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
Of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as in.

ANOTHER MAN WANTS $4,000
TRACTION Company Defendant In Sec
.Ond Suit for That Amount.

TIL, suit of John w O'Connor VS.. the
burlington Traction company, an action
to recover $4,000 for the loss OF the
plaintiffs leg and for other loss and suf-
fering occasioned thereby, was entered
Tuesday in Chittendcn county court.
The declaration sets forth that the
plaintiff on the evening of December q,
1905 was passenger on one OF the
defendant company's cars on Colchester
avenue, that the company did not enclose
by gates the platforms OF the car, did
not adjust properly the chains and guards
with which the car was equipped, left
snow and ice on the flooring, making the
Same slippery. and did not maintain and
equip the car so as to prevent the
plaintiff in the exercise of due care from
being cast under the car wheels. In
consequence Mr.. O'Connor lost the lower
portion of his right leg, has been obliged
TO get an artificial leg and in addition to
great pain and anguish has been unable
to pursue his previous occupation, since
the accident occurred.

RARE KINDS OF MONEY.
Interesting; Facts In Regard TO various
Issues of Paper Money.

Some half dozen mon In this country
make a speciality Of collecting the differ
cnt varieties Of United States paper mon
e.. chief among them are II. r. Browne
and G. II. Blake of New York, who
Jointly produced the paper on the history
Of paper money IN the United States
recently read AT a meeting Of the Amer
lean Nnmismatic and Archaeological soci-
ETY.. Mr.. Blake exhibited at the same
time tho bills referred TO in the paper.
Among the United States issues Of pa
per money first came the demand notes.
which gave rise TO the name Of green
backs. Congress on July II, 1861 author
tied an issue OF paper money OF the de-
nominations of 81, $40 and 500. Of which
SEQ, 900 went at once into circulation.
These notes We're made payable in New
York, Philadelphia. Boston, Cir rinnati
ana st. Louis. the idea being to dstri-
butte the redemption as much as possible
and not to cmbarrass any one particular
place. The Subsequent issues were all
made PAYABLE in New York alone.
Demand notes were issued for a period
Of less than eight months. for by act o;
congress OF February 25, 1862 a new issue
the first OF the legal tender notes. was
authorized in denominations OF s., $40 $50
$50. 500 500 and 81 00O Fifty million dol
lars of the new notes were issued to take
up the demand notes, and they soon dis
appeared from circulation.
The records now show that only littl;
more than $4,000 of these notes remain e
be redeemed and it is believed that no.
more than 81 900 worth are still in exist
ence. The other notes 1t is supposed. are
either destroyed or lost.
