LOGICAL ECZEMA CURE
ENDORSED BY PHYSICIANS.

After treating eczema for years as
a practically incurable blod disease,
the medical world is greatly interest
ed in the discovery that 1t is not a
blood disease at all. but is due to
a parasite in the skin itself. This
parasite is easily destroyed by the
external APPLICATION Of a compound of
oil OF wintergreen, thymol. glycerIne.
etc. This will quickly kill all eczema
germs, while soothing and refreshing
the skin.
DR.. r. A. Folkerts OF Duluth,
Mimi. tells OF the success in treat
ing patients:
There was a man here suffering
from eczema for the last fourteen
years, and applied the d. d. d.
treatment. also applied It to q man
OF West Duluth, Mimi, who has been
suffering with rheumatism for four
teen years. and eczema in his feet,
and the second treatment in both
cases cleared the skin almost abso-
lutely. The first APPLICATION is q
balm, and its soothing effect is be-
yond expression. / shall never be
without 1t, and shall use It among
my patients altogether"
No mater htow terribly you suffer

the nations laws are made.
William H. Langdon is genuine prod

there he reared his family of two girls
and boy educating them literally, pre-
pairing them to cope with the world, the
while he honestly and hOnOTably sought to
add to the inheritance from their mother,
in order that there might be no such
thing as a struggle for mere existence
when the days of his caretaking should
pass.

It was this fine type of true American
and chiValrOus sOutherner. Langdon,

accepted the nomination because he re-
garded it as a duty to the nation. AS

Disillusionment first comes when he is

that he is quick to absorb a suggestion
that he become LangdOn's private secTe-

Ambitious as he is to do something in

only the wayward Randolph, but the am
bilious Carolina, in their scheme, which
is one for the acquisition of an immense
tract of land that is afterward to be sold

to success, compel Langdon TO believe
that his secretary is deep in the scheme,
and, at the same time, make Bud be-
lieve that Langdon, too, is involved. Thus
the separation of the two workers for the
common good is accomplished.
Carolina seeks to trade upon what she
believes to be Haines' affection for her
