RABY's ITCH EASILY CURED.
Infantile Eczema Quickly Relieved by
External Use of Oil of Winter
green Compound.

Infantile excema, which has baffled
the skill of the best physicians for so
many years at last seems to be durable
and durable with great ease.
Results of the last two years indi-
cate conclusively that baby's itch, in
fantile eczema and other skin diseases
of children can be very simply cured
by the application of compound COM
posed of oil of wintergreen, thymol
and glycerine, as in D. D. D. Prescrip-
ton.
The Rev. Lewis Steeley, of Weather
ly. Pa, writes:
Our baby boys little face was so
dreadfully covered with eczema that
blood and water ran from the sores
nearly all the time. After using IL
bottles of D. D. D. Prescription we are
so happy to tell you he is entirely
cured and the disease has never brok-
en- out again. If this letter is in any
way help to other sufferers, you may
publish it."
If you have a child which is suffer
ing with this terrible itch, we are sure
you will not neglect one hour to give
your baby the right kind of relief. We
have seen too often how quickly the
remedy mentioned above takes the
itch away at once and how all the
cures seem to be permanent; we have
seen this too often to hesitate at all in
recommending the remedy for your
children.

Frederick Schlimme, a stone
mason. died recently in the public
hospital at Brunswick, Germany,
having lived for nearly thirteen
years IN water.
In November, 1894, Schlimme,
who VA then twenty years old, fell
from a tree, injuring his spine ser
ously-practically his backbone was
broken and his spinal cord crushed.
Ia consequence of these injuries the
lower portion Of his body was para
lived and certain internal organs
were prevented from performing
their ueual functions.
In order 10 save his life the phys
icians ordered a permanent bath,
in which he has since reclined, his
body supported IN cleverly contrived
rests. The water was kept AT a tenn
perature Of ~ degrees Farenheit,
and immersed in the water Schlim-
me felt little OF no pain. In a short
time he was able 10 DO basket and
wire work, and make cages, etc. lie
also bred canaries in large numbers,
and displayed such ingenuity that
articles he made were eagerly sought
after and fetched high prices.
