FRAUDS IN TESTIMONIALS
 BY MEDICAL FIRMS
But Some Are Genuine-A Significant
 Case of Eczema

How do medical firms secure the testi- monials which you frequently see in print?
 This is a question which no doubt ev- cry reader of The Age-Herald has oc- casionalIy asked himself.
 Well, testimonials are obtained in va rious ways. Some are undoubtedly not sincere; they are written by friends of advertisers or by employees. It is alleged that in some cases testimonials are even paid fora species of bribery which can not be condemned too highly.
 But contrary to general opinion, it is a fact that at least large number of tes- timonials are genuine and sincere. They are usually given by people who feel so grateful for cure that they allow their names to be used. We ourselves know of more than one case where man or woman naturally averse to publicity was so overjoyed at finding the right kind Of medicine that the cured patient consented to the use of his name in print.
 A typical case of this kind-of special interest to eczema sufferers-is that of Robert Sussman of Toledo, O. MT. Suss- man is a well known furrier in Toledo, and for years he suffered with a severe case Of eczema.
 He described his case as almost unen- durable About five years ago he was in- duced 70 try the OH or WlnleTBfeen COnl- pound known as D. D. D. Prescription for eczema sufferers. He has gone out of his way to find sufferers and to tell them of this remedy. He has done this without pay, of course and without even having been requested to fdo. so by the D. D. D. Company. It was simply the fact that his health, his very life, had been restored that made him so enthusiastic. We have recently had another letter from MT. Sussman in which he offers to write to any eczema sufferer and to describe his case. If any reader of this paper [ should write Mir Sussman, we request that self-addressed stamped envelopes be enclosed.
 Speasing of his own case, Mir. Suss- man says.
 Six years of intense suffering from a. severe case of eczema, to be given up as incurable by 16 doctors, several of whom were specialists of skin diseases, and then to have tried every known medicine for my ailment without effect, and finally to procure absolute relief and a perma- nent cure from a new remedy, is an ex- periencc that justffies my action in mak- ing it known to the public; and I feel that 1t is my duty to give it as much pub lcty as possible, so that other suffer- CTS may be relieved. My sympathy goes out tc those who have to go through what dld'
 D. D. D. Prescription, also D. D. D. Soap may pc had in Birmingham of any drug gist.

FOR OLD PEOPLE

After reaching the age of 40 the hu- man system gradually declines in virilty and strength and becomes less able each year to combat sickness. It is then that the accumulated poisons in the blood make themselves manifest by rheumatic pains in the joints, muscles and back.
 These warning twinges should be promptly relieved and serious Illness avoided by using the following results even after the first few doses and it will eventually restore full physical vigor.
 "One ounce compound syrup of Sar- saparllla; one ounce Toris compound; half rint of high-grade whisky. This to be mixed and used in tablespoonful doses before each meal and at bed time. The bottle to be well shaken each time.'' Any druggist can supply the ingredients.

Never was there a mode more becoming
and practical for the small boy than the
Russian suit. with its long blouse loosely
belted at the waistllne and the comfort
able kpickers which afford plenty OF room
for active movement. The suit sketched
is very simple TO make and pleasing in
effect, its very plainness being most be-
coming to a sturdy little lad. The blouse
fastens on the right side, and the tucks
retain the fuilness of the sleeve instead
OF the usual cuff. A standing collar
which is not too high for comfort and
closes at the side finishes the neck and
obviates the necessity for the Eton col
lar of linen. which needs such frequent
changing. The knickerbockers are made
without a fly. and especially adapted to
little boys wear. Serge. corduroy, or the
usual tub fabrics will serve admirably for
making 2A yards, ~ inches wide. being re-
quired for the 4-year size.
Sizes, ?, 3, 4, 5. and years.
This pattern may be obtained by In
closing 10 cents in stamps and addressing

Herald, 7S4 Fifteenth street northwest,

Wanted Instructions

It is well to leave something TO the i'm
agination. Too much detail is apt to act
as an irritant. and not every victim OF
overminute instruction has the joyful op-
portunity Of such revenge as did the
brother in the following story, told in
Charities and the Commons:
Prof. Lowell left his Cambridge home in
charge Of his brother. giving careful in
structions about ventilation, care Of fur
niture, watering plants, and so forth.
While passing through New York the
professor remembered with remorse that
he had said nothing about his bird. So he
telegraphed his brother;
Feed the bird"
Three days later, when the owner of
the bird reached Detroit, he found a dis
patch from his brother:
Bird fed. Hungry again. Wire instruc-
tons

WIDOWS AND ECONOMY.

From the Atchisou (Bans) Globe.
Being left a widow viii develop wonder
ful capacities for economy in a woman
that her best friends never dreamed OF
her possessing. From being a spoiled. ex-
travagant woman, who does not care for
the value OF money. she will become a
shrewd business woman. II her husband
leaves her poor, one dollar will not only
go five times as far as a dollar did before
his death, but she will keep up a better
appearance in spending it. Her children
look neater. her house more tidy. and her
own personal appearance is often changed
for the better. We do not know the rea-
son. unless she feels that everything de-
pends upon her. and makes an effort she
did not think of making before. 1t would
be pleasing thing TO many Woodworking
men IL their wives would develop some Of
these widow qualities before. the death
of the husbands.
