Eczema is Now Durable.

A ST. Louis chemist, after many
years of careful experimenting and in
vestigation, has discovered a simple
remedy that has cured hundreds of
cases of eczema that had been pro-
nounced incurable. This chemist be-
lieved that eczema and all itching
skin diseases were of local origin and
were caused by germs which attacked
and fed on the skin. He began to
search for "a. remedy that would de-
stroy these germs. and found that by
combining the active principles of GER
tain well known vegetable drugs and
applying them locally, the first appli-
cation stopped the itching and burn
ing, and if used persistently would
drive all germs and their poisons to
the surface of the skin, and destroy
them, leaving a nice, clear, healthy
skin. He gave this remarkable rem
edy the suggestive name of Zemo,
and since it's introduction to the pub
lie Zemo has proved very popular
remedy and is today recognized the
most successful and meritorious rem
edy ever produced for the relief and
cure of eczema and all diseases of
the skin and scalp.
Harper House pharmacy endorses
and recommends Zemo and says that
they believe Zemo to be an honest
medicine and will do all that is claim
ed for it.

Jennie saw what happened to
his friend. He rushed to the wounded
man and managed to pilot him to
place of reasonable safety. Giving Bar
tholomew a drink of water from his
canteen, the little drummer dashed
away to find the regimental surgeon.
The doctor probed the wound with his
fingers and told the boy that the adju-
tant was done for and it would do no
good to move him. But after the doctor
thad gone to other duties the boy hunt
ed up the big drum major, Charles WI
ley, who helped him carry Bartholo-
new to a house. When the Union
forces were driven back, Jennie" re-
fused to leave his friend to fall into the
enemy's hands. He succeeded in get
ting the officer into an army wagon
and remained in attendance until Bar
tholomew was safe in the Federal hos
pital on Roanoke island. The adjutant
recovered and told what the boy had
done for him. More than thirty years
later Judge Langbein received the
medal of honor for that service.
