WHAT IS ECZEMA I?
4 COMMON ERRoR CORRECTED.

An erroneous impression prevails
that itching, burning Eczema, Psorins-
is, Salt Rheum, Boils, ETC., are. only
skin diseases, and must be treated ex-
ternally. Hundreds of cases have conc
under our notice-and probably youl
experience is similar-where the ptr.
son afflicted had the disease on the
lobe Of the left ear and an eruption ,.n
the right ankle, while the other mem
bers Of the body were absolutely free
from vesicle, rash, or other outward
manifestations, showing conciusFve1y
that the blood was poisoned and the
poison found vent at the most vulna1-
able part of the persno afflicted. Irr.
Taylor's theory is that these diseases
originate in the blood, and must lie
treated from that standpoint, not
through ths' skin alone. This theory is
amply proven by the thousands of pGo.
pie who have been permanently curnl.

! AwYERs AND THE LAW.

President Taft has appointed a cahi-
net of lawyers. with one or two excep-
tons. and the people are given 10 IN
derstand that the government is going
to be run during the next four years in
strict accordance with the constitution
and the federal statutes. Obviously
most people viii agree that this is d
step IN the right direction. It is high
.'r,,o il, ',o1e to l,!c lne i1 The admins
tration Of government affairs.
one great drawback. however. is the
fact that so many Of the laws are lame
and that weeks grow into months and
months into years before Justice can
be obtained in any OF the courts Of the
land. Technicalities, rather than broad
principles, govern, and the possibilities
of evading plain provisions are legion.
: movement for reform has been start
ed in Chicago. and the judges of the
superior court have appointed COM
mittee to draft suggestions for amend
rnents to the practice law Of Illinois,
and there is to be an attempt TO re
form court methods all along the line.
That too many appeals are allowed
is one great cause OF complaint, and
the Chicago jurists insist that the jury
should be judges Of the facts, and that
appesls 70 the upper courts should be
mon law points alone. Another idea
Is that opposing attorneys should make
concise statements Of the issues before
-, - d, eass and that q system Of
costs should be devised whereby pay
ment might be exacted for unnecessary
k taking up the time Of the court.
The Illinois idea is all right. Now if
the bench and bar and the citizens of
California would get together and de-
