Herald and published in the

which has been used in hundreds
of cases of scarlet fever and
smallpox, and is as unfailing as
fate and conquers in every in
stance. When learned physicians
said patients must die, it effect
ed a cure. 1t is harmless when
taken by we'll person. Here is

digitalis (fox glove), l grain;
one half teaspoonsful of sugar;

add two ounces of water. Give a
spoonful every hour. For a child,
smaller doses, according to age.

morning. But the next morning my
hand was all swollen up and l poulticed
1t. When the doctor came to his Office
showed him the hand and to my sur
prise he told me that he had never ex-
perienced such a case in his practice and
said it was well l poultced it. After
trying his different remedies the disease
increased and went up my arms and
finally to my thighs and legs generally
and finally on my face. The burning
was something terrible. After had
tried this doctor, as / thought, long
enough, l went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best in
town. He told me it was a bad case Of
eczema and that it would take quite a
while to cure it. His medicine checked
the advance Of the disease but no fur
