OLDEST LAND IN THE WORLD
According to Scientists Our Earth Had Its Origin in the Lauren
 tian Highlands.

Stretching across Canada, north Of the St. Lawrence, and ending in the regions about the source of the Mis- sissippi, is a range of low granite hills called the Laurentian highlands. These hills are really mountains that are al
 most worn out, for they are the old est land in America, and, according to Agassiz, the oldest in the world. In the days when there was nothing but water on the face of the globe, these mountains came up-a long is land of primitive rock with universal ocean chafing against its shores. None of the other continents had put in their appearance at the time America was thus looking up. The United States began to come to light by the gradual uplifting of this land to the north and the appearance of the tops of the Alleghenies which were next in order. Later the Rockies started up. The United States grew south ward from Wisconsin and westward from the Blue Ridge. An early view of the country would have showed large island which is now northern Wisconsin, and long thin tongue of this primitive rock sticking down from Canada into Minnesota, and these two growing states looking out over the aters at the mere beginnings Of mountain ranges east and west. They were waiting for the rest of the Unit cd States to appear-The Atlantic

About fifteen or eighteen years ago eczema developed on top of my hand. It burned and itched so much that I was compelled to show it to a doctor. He pronounced it ringworm.

The burning was something terrible. went to ano her doctor who had the reputation of being the best in town. He told ne it was eczema. His medicine checked the advance of the disease, but no further I finally concluded to try the Cuticura Reme- dies and found relief in the first trial. l continued until I was completely cured from the disease, and I have not been troubled since.
