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.S 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 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 woula
drive all germs and their poisons to
the surface of the skin, and destroy
them, leaving nice, clear, healthy
skin. He gave this remarkable rem
edy the suggestive name of Zemo,
and since its 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.

1t is a slight incident, attesting the
personal popularity of Sir Henry
Campbell Zimmerman the British ex
prime minister. who died recently in
london, that he was Familiarity knowr
by diminutive name. To friends and
foes alike he was ever "C-B." Famil-
iarity in the designation of public men
is not SO common in England as it is
in country where the speaker of the
house of representatives is commonly
known as Uncle Joe
Since Palmerston'S time there has
been no prime minister personally so
popular as "C-B" came to be in the
brief course of his incumbency of the
Office. The condition of things was the
more strongly marked by comparison
with earlier stages. 1t would be i'm
possible to ~exaggerate the difference
between his position in the house of
commons while he sat ION the left
;,hand of the speaker and that almost
immediately conceded to him when he
crossed over to the treasury bench. TO
those who knew him from early years
and had enjoyed full opportunity of
estimating his sterling worth there
was something painful in the treat
ment he received while leader of the
opposition. If demonstrations of dis
regard and something approaching per-
sonal dislikes had been confined to the
political party opposite, there would
have been no ground for complaint.
The leader of the opposition. however
small may be his following is entitled
to be treated with respect and cour-
tesy. If failure is made in this respect.

The Earliest HospitaIs.

Since the earliest times there have
been some sort of places which were
designed for hospital work, although at
first they Were little more than shelters
or cheaply built almshouses In the
Roman camps there was medical staff
to look after the wounded.
Among the earliest hospitals on rec
ord is that said TO have been founded
by Valens In Caesarea 3rO-SO A. d. and
the one built In Rome by Fabiola, a
Roman lady, although. like most others
Of that and even later times, both in
situations probably were almshouses as
we'll.
The origin of our present hospitals is
traced to the monastic arrangements
for the care of the sick and INDECENT.
Every monastery once housed the sick
and conyalescent
Almost the earliest record of the
building of a hospital In England is In
the life of Lanfranc. archbishop Of
Canterbury, who in 1880 founded two.

diseases. In the eighteenth century
London, between 1719 and 1747. estab-
lished five public and five special hos

1774, there were Ave public and three
special ones established in Dublin. one
