CURE BY THE
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"About four years ago l was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
cmd & few covering my body, which
produced a severe itching irritation, and
which caused me Q great deal Of annoy
ance and suffering. TO such an extent that
Twas forced to call in two of the leading
physicians IF my town. After thor
ough examination OF the dreaded COM
plant they announ ced it to be skin
eczema in its worst form. They treated
me for the same for the length Of one
year, but the treatment did Nc no good.
Finally l became despon@>nt and
decided to discontinue their services.
Shortly afterwards, my husband IN read.
ing n copy of q weekly New York
paper saw an advertisement of the Cutie
cura Remedies. He purchased the enc
tire outfit, and after using the contents
of the first bottle Of Cuticura ReSolvent
in connection with the Cuticua Soap
and Ointment, the breaking out entirely
stopped. | continued the use Of the
Cuticura Remedies for six months, and
after that every splotch was entirely
gone and the affected parts were left rs
clear as ever. / have not felt a synap-
tom of the eczema since, which was three
years ago.
The Cuticura Remedies not only
cured me Of that dreadful disease,
eczema, but other complicated troubles
as well; and l have been the means Of

Nor does the resin flow far enough 10
be caught in liquid form in boxes or
cups as it does in this country. There

hardens. The whole product which
amounts to only about two ounces

the scraps which forms only a small
part of the yield obtained in warmer
climates.
Spirits of turpentne and rosin are pre-
pared from this crude resin by distilla-

Toned pit kiln or in closed iron retorts
for the production of tar, charcoal and

is used for fuel and for making the bar
rels in which the products are shipped.
1t is possible that after our southern

Red pine, called by the botanists pinus
sylvestria, is the tree which the Russians
exploit for rosin as the longleaf pine
of the southern states is exploited in this
country. In securing the resin the Rus
SLAMS chip the trees much as we do
but a far smaller yield is secured.
Each years chipping extends about
three feet vertically and all the way
around the tree except for a strip of
bark about two inches wide just suf-
fieient to keep the tree alive. After five
years chipping this strip of bark is also
cut and the tree soon dies.
On account of the coldness of the eli
mate where the red pine grows the
resin does not flow readily but hardens
soon after it exudes from the tree. 1t
