BURNING ECZEMA
QUICKLY SPREAD
Started Like Ringworm on Hand
Hand Swelled and Then Humor
Spread to Arms, Legs and Face
1t was Something Terrible.
PRESCRIPTIONS FAILED:
CUTlCURA CURED HIM

81 have used the Cuticura Remedies
FOR very bad case of eczema with COM
pfeee success. About fifteen or eighteen
years ago the disease developed in the
shape OF large pinhead on top of nv
hand. 1t burned and itched SO much
that was compelled to show it to a doc
tor. He pronounced it ringworm, and
made very light Of it. He gave me a
wash and told me to apply it before 60
ing TO bed and all would be over in the
morning. But the next morning nv
hand was all swollen up and poulticed
1t. When the doctor came to his office l
showed him the hand and to my sur
prise he told me that he had never ex-
perlenced such a case in his practice and
said it was well l poulticed it. After
trying his different remedies the disease
increased and went up my arms and
finally to my thighs and legs generally
and finally on my face. The burning
was something terrible. After l had
tired this doctor, as l thought, long
enough, went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best in
town. He told me it was bad case of
eczema and that it would take quite a
while to cure it. His medicine checked
the advance Of the disease but no fur
Their.
Il finally concluded to try the Cuti-
cura remedies. L bought a cake of
Cuticura Soap, a box Of Cuticura ONT
ment and bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent
and found relief in the first trial. con-
tinued until was completely free from
the disease and have not been troubled
with another attack since. 1 still use
the Cuticura Ointment in my family as
it is one of the best remedies to heal a
sore or other injury rapidly. l can
freely and truthfully say that the Cuti-
cura Remedies are the oest so far as nv
experience went with them and am
still recommending them, feeling sure 1
am not making a mistake. G.. Burk-

Care Of Lamps,

The bowl of the lamp should be kept
full of oil, but when not in use the wick
should be turned low to keep the oil
from oozing out on the burner. The
burners should be5cleansed occasionally
by boiling them for half an hour in a
strong solution of Gold Dust washing
powder. Wipe on cloth and they will
be as good as new. To clean the Chin
neys, wash them in warm water to which
has been added teaspoonful of Gold
Dust washing powder and wipe dry on a
soft towel; polish with an old newspaper
Lamp chimneys are made more durable if
they are put into pan of cold water and
allowed to heat gradually till the water is boil
ing and left in the water until cold again. :,

DISAGREES WITH

20 about the gas supplied to consumers
in this city by the San Francisco gas
and electric company has been of great
interest to me, as an old time Gus
toner of the San Francisco gas light

gas and electric company. 1 can assure
you that there is no doubt good reason
for dissatisfaction with the present
output of so called gas light in place
of the former good coal gas. not only
on account of the inferior quality. but
also because of its greater danger in
using the same in sick rooms, and par
ticularly where il is burned IN CRATES.

of this crude petroleum and water gas

Consul Herman L. Spahr of Breslau
advises that analyses have recently
been made to determine the exact
chemical constituents of the spring at
Bad Centnerbrunn, Silesia, situate
about n miles from Breslau, in the
Eulengebirge. The Investigations 1t is
said, resulted in the discovery that the

that before appearing at the surface 1t
