EXTERNAL REMEDY FOR ECZEMA
Why salves Fall While Simple Liquid
Has Accomplished Thousands
Of Cures.

1t is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema is purely u skin disease,
due to a germ and durable only
through the skin. 1t is not blood
disease at all; in fact, thousands of
people suffer with skin disease and are
perfectly healthy otherwise. and thcre-
fore prove they have no diseased blood.
Smeary salves cannot reach the
germs because they do not pene-
trate the skin. The only way to reach
the germs is by means of a penetrating
liquid.
Such liquid can be obtained by sim
ply mixing ordinary oil of wintergreen
ing agents. This compound known as
the d. d. d. Prescription stops the itch
instantly and the cures all appear to be
permanent. 1t might be advisable to
speak to your druggist about this.

A"Hoss' CASE.
Cruelty to An Animal Charged Against
II. G. Savage Of Chelsea.

A moss" case occupied the attention
OF the Gardiner municipal court Thurs
day afternoon, it being case resulting
from alleged cruelty to an animal.
From the evidence presented before Re-
corder Will c. Atkins, it appeared that
Deputy Sheriff G. r. Vickery of Hal
lowell and Humane Officer c. w. Blais-
dell of Gardiner went to the place Of H.
G. Savage of Chelsea, early this week
and found a horse giving appearances
of undertaking and abuse. Officer
Blaisdell testified that in his opinion
the horse was % or % years old. Both
officers valued the horse at nothing,
the animal being, in their opinion, past
it's usefulness. After the case had pro-
ceeded as far as the presentation of the
evidence for the State, the respondent,
Mr.. Savage, asked for a continuance
of the case against him until he could
confer with his counsel, G. w. Hesel-
ton, Mr.. Heselton now being out of
town. Cash bail was accepted in the
sum of $50 for appearance at court at
o'clock this morning, to which time
and place the hearing was adjourned.
