Eczema and Other
Skin Diseases Be-
ing Cured Rapidly

In recent visit to one of the
largest local drug stores it was
learned that the sale OF the orug
citrox has Increased so rapidly that it
is almost impossible for the druggists
to keep a sufficient supply of it in
stock. Evidently citrox does what is
claimed for it by its discoverer.
Dr. ]. E. Currier. a prominent
scientist of London, Eng, discovered
not many months ago that tea
spoonful of pure citrox- dissolved in
two tabIespoonfu1s of hot water and
applied twice daily to any part of the
body affected with Eczema, letter
and other skin diseases would cure
almost any case, and the sale of citrox
has been remarkable.
The pure drug only should be used,
just as it comes from the chemical
works, put up in small sealed pack
ages.

fishhawks, as their methods of angling
are most interesting.
''One day last week l saw fishhawk

at the edge of the Shrewsbury river,
just back of my cottage. The bird APP
peared to be a rather young one-at

Immediately it emerged bearing large

through my marine glasses l watched
the struggle.

The eighty rods of new permanent

some fine roads built the past few
years; in most cases they have been
made in the worst places and now
they are the best places.
The Patch Grove correspondent to
the Bloomington Record has been
saying something about needing a
hall. 1t is a fact, we do need one
ald need it badly and we need other
things just as bad. There should be
some hard thinking down here. The
people should get together and talk
these things over. These things we
need are not going to be dropped into
our stocking at Christmas time. but
we will have 20 get them by our own
endeavor. Where there is a will there
is always a way. Don't be Micawber
like, waiting for something to turn
up, but get busy and turn it up your
selves.
