New Discovery Cures Eczema and
 Eradieates Minor Stin Troubles
 Overnight
 A few months ago the dispensers of poslam. the new discovery for the cure of eczema, decided to allow the drug gists of the country to handle 1t. Pre- vious to that time 1t could only be obtained direct from the laboratories.
 Since this change In the method of distribution. poslam has met with the most phenomenal success of anything introduced to the druggists in the last thirty years. All leading drug- gists. including E c. Fowler. Mont gomery are now carrying the special 50-cent size recently adopted. also the S2 jar.
 This great success Is not surprising when it Is remembered that, In ecze- ma cases, poslam sIops the itching with first application, proceeds to heal irn- mediately. and cures chronic cases in 6 few weeks Tn minor skin troubles. such as pimples. bIackheads, acne, herpes, blotches, rash. etc. results show after an overnight application.

Drs. Garter, Allen and Stone conferred
with Mr.. Sherman today as to the ad-
visibility of performing an operation.
The physicians and Mr. Sherman We're
of opinion that there was no apparent
necessity for an immediate operation.
The physicians expressed the belief, how
ever, that Mr.. Sherman would undergo
an operation as soon as he was fully re-
covered and before the fall campaign be-
gins, in order to avoid another attack.
The vice presidential candidate agreed
that this might be advisable.
Sorrow for Cleveland.
Mr.. Sherman was notified of the death
this morning of former President Grover
Cleveland. He expressed great sorrow.
He said he would send a telegram of
coincidence to Mrs. Cleveland later i'll the
day.
Leaves Hospital Saturday.
Mr.. Sherman now expects to be able to
leave the hospital not later than Satur
day next, unless new complications
arise.
At 1915 D. m. Mr. Sherman was quiet
" sleeping with his temperature respir-
alton aud pulse practically normal. The
physicians will not hold another consulta-
coon unless Mr.. Sherman's condition
should change for the worse.
