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

Nothing in the history of medicine
has ever approached the success OF the
marvellous skin remedy known as pos
lam, 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
well as acne, herpes, letter, piles, salt
rheum, rash, crusted humors, escaly
scaly scalp and every form of itch,
yield to it readily. Blemishes such as
pimples, red noses, muddy and infiamed
skin disappear almost Immediately
when poslam IS applied, the complexion
being cleared overnight.
Every druggist keeps both the 80
cent size for minor troubles) and the
81 jar, and either of these may be OBJ
tanned in Augusta at Coughlin's
Pharmacy as well as other reliable
drug stores.
But no one is even asked to pur-
chase poslam without first obtaining

Mondays Hearing Before
Governor and Council.
DR.. Stewart Of York Claims
Petitions Are Illegal
Governor FernaId Takes the Matter
j Under Amusement.

A hearing was held Monday after
noon before the Governor and Coun-
Gil on the matter of calling a special
| election on the act passed at the last
| session of the Legislature to divide the
town of York and establish the town
of Georges, the act failing of becoming
law through the referendum, over 13,
900 signatures having been secured to
petitions by those who are opposed to
the division of the town.
f. At Mondays hearing Dr. John c.
Stewart appeared for that part of the
| town which wanted to be separated
| from the other part, and he severely
attackedSthe legality of the petitions
as presented at the office of the secre-
tary of State. The other part Of the
town, that section which opposed a di-
vision, was represented by Hon. James
@. Bradbury of Saco and Hon. George
,It.s Haley of Biddeford as counsel. The
| Governor took the matter under ad-
visement at the close of the hearing.
The meeting was called to order at
| 9 o'clock by Governor Fernald, who
stated that it appears by the petitions
that 10000 names have been received
for referendum on this question and
the legality of the petitions has been
attacked.
I've are now ready" said Governor
Fernald, 'to listen to the contention Of
those who have attacked the petitions. -
At this juncture exceptions were filed
by Messrs. Bradbury and Haley, coun-
sci for the anti-divisioners. stating that
the Governor had no right under the
provisions of the referendum law to
pass on the legality of the signatures
to the petitions.
DIR. John c. Stewart was the only
speaker on the side of those who favor
division. He severely criticized the pc
titions, contending that they were alb
solutely illegal, that is, a great many
of them.
eff the petitions from Eastport,
Westbrook and South Berwick are eX-
amined,' said DR.. Stewart, ct will be
found that they are clearly illegal. The
