CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has Revolutionized the Treatment of Skin Diseases.

New Discovery Has Revolutionized
 the Treatment of Skin Diseases. , Nothing Ssn tfser history. of medioiHe has ever approached the success of the marvellous skin eremedy known as poslam. which it is Safe to say, has cured more cases of eczema and skin diseases than any remedy ever offered for these ills.
 The success of poslam is not at all surprising when it is considered that even a very small quantity applied to the skin stops itching. immediately and cures chronic cases in two weeks. The very worst cases of eczema, as we'll as acne, herpes, letter, piles, salt rheufn, rash, erusted humors, scaly scalp and every form of itch, yield to it readily. sBlemishes such as pimples, red noses, muddy and unframed skin disappear almost immediately when poslam is applied, the complexion be- ing cleared over night.
 Every druggist keeps both the 50- cent size (for minor troubles) and the g jar, and either of these may be ob- tained at Lee & Osgood's and Smiths drug store in Norwich. Barue's in Putnam. sWoodward's in Danielson and Chesebro's in Willimantic as well as other reliable drug stores.
 But no one is even asked to pur- chase poslaln without first obtaining an experimental package which will be sent by mail. free of charge, upon re- quest. by the Emergency Laboratories. 32 West Twenty fifth street, New York City.

Mill Property Needed Repairs.

When the Reyes Processor company of Uncasyille obtained possession of the woolen mill in Palmertown and commenced to prepare the premises for installation of it's machinery it was found that repairs were absolute ly necessary to a much greater extent than at first supposed. The floors in the mill building were ing no condi- tion to support the heavy machinery and the work of renewing these will occupy some time. Several days have been required to jack up the floors with heavy timbers and place extra supports under them. Frank B. Mitchell, who is in charge of this work stated that he expects to be able to start carpenters at once laying. new. flooring. As soon as this is com pleted. the machinery will be moved from the old dye mill in Uncasville.

A Boys Quick Work.

The mental auickness and the phy- sical courage which IA year old George Callahan showed on Friday in jumping on. the rear of a taxicab and staying there until the reckless chauffeur was arrested after running down and kill ing girl in Manhattan was one of the brightest and most praiseworthy acts recorded in this city for. some days. But, for the boys instant realization that unless he made himself an unin- vited passenger the murderous driver would probably escape, the man would not likely. be in the hands of the police today. After racing 50 blocks to es- cape possible pursuit, with the boy clinging on desperately behind. the ele- ment of. luck entered. Something went wrong with the machine. necessitating Its halting long enough to enable Cal lahan to summon policeman. This boy has enough pluck and keen per- ception to carry him through the world in a creditable way.-Brooklyn Stan dard-Union.
