It burned and itched so much that was compelled to show it to . doc tor. He pronounced it ringNorm, and made very light of it. He gave me . ing to bed and an would be over in the morning. But the next morning my hand was all swollen up and poulticed it. When the doctor cams to his office prise he told me that he had never ex- perienced such a case in his practice and said it was well I poulticed it. After trying his different remedies the disease increased and went up my arms and and hnaily on my face. The burning was something terrible. After I had tried this doctor. as I 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 while to euro it. His medicine checked the advance of the disease but no fur ther.

 Dear Sir-when the privilege was tracks through Broad street it was for the express purpose of relieving con- gestion and 1t was understood and at least tacitly agreed that all Stratford called "City Hall loop" This was done last year and gave general satis- faction Interruption of this system was caused by the repaving of Fair Held avenue which necessitated the use of single track With the reopening of this thoroughfare it was naturally expected that the old system would be restored; this has not been done-not only have very unsatisfactory arrange ments been made but arbitrary rules have been promulgated which are ob- noxious and believe entirely unneces- sary.
