IF IT DISAPPEARS, IT'S ECZEMA.
How to Tell Whether a Skin Aztec.
ton is an inherited Blood Disease
or Not

Sometimes it is hard to, determine
whether skin affection is a sign of a
blood disorder or simply a form OF
eczema. Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is to go to
Coughlin's Pharmacy, or any good
druggist who handles pure drugs and
obtain so cents worth of poslam
Apply this, and if the itching stops at
once and the trouble is cured in a few
days it may be set down as having
been eczema, as this is the way
poslam acts in the worst cases OF
eczema, and in curing acne, herpes
blotches, letter, piles, salt rheum
rash, BARRIERS and 4 other forms of
itch. scaly scalp. and all surface skin
affections.
Those who will write to the
Emergency Laboratories, No. 80 West
Twenty fifth Sheet, New York, can
secure, by mail free of charge, sup
ply sufficient to cure a small eczema
surface or clear complexion over
night and remove pimples in twenty
four hours.

and IN LincOln's hands it became both
Shield Of defense and a weapon of
attack. He neither deceived himself
nor allowed others to deceive him, and
ne honestly and fairly looked on all
sides of every question before making
up his mind. This not only rendered
MIN sure of his own ground and toler-
ant OF the opinions of others. but gave
MIN knowledge of his adversaries' re-
sources which was invaluable in time

Lincoln's Legacy of
Inspiration to Americans
Part His Struggle for Education.
BY FREDERICK TREVOR HILL.

1t has been truly said of Lincoln that
he never finished his education" and
that to the close of his life he was "a
learner, an inquirer, a searcher after
knOwledge-never afraid of asking
questions-never too dignified to admit
that he did not know" The whole of
Lineoln's schooling amounted to less
than a year in all. and the little in
struetion he received from the five
schoolmasters, each of whom taught
him for a few weeks at long intervals
during his boyhood, was extremely ele-
mentary. He may, therefore. fairly be
said to have educated himself, and of
this education came man who di-
vined all the underlying motives of the
human heart, who with sincerity de-
ceived the deceitful." and who passed
through the fierCest Of political con-
troversies without leaving one word of
offense to even the bitterest of his
foes.
His reading was directed by chance
rather than by selection, and TO what
extent he was influenced by the books
which he eagerly borrowed is an open
question. Certainly the well known list
Of those that first fell into his hands
comprises strange assortment
"AesOp's Fables and the Revised
Statutes of Indiana. Pilgrims Prog
ress' and Weems' preposterous Life
Of Washington" Robinson Crusoe,'
the Bible and a history of the United
States These and other volumes he
read at every Ortunity-sometimes
while walking to and from his work
sometimes in the woods and fields
while resting from the axe and pillow,
and often in his home at nights. Here
too, he practiced writing. and worked
out sums on the wooden fire shovel in
default of slate, making the best
of things and carefully outstanding his
slim resources.
It was no brilliant student who thus
devoted himself to acquiring the rudi-
ments Of education. but patient.
Dainstaking and somewhat plodding
boy, for Lincoln's mind matured very
slowly. Indeed, he did not show any
signs of promise until he was about
Is, and even in the prime of his life his
processes were far from
quick. His mind, he remarked. was
like a piece OF steei-very hard to
scratch, but almost impossible to free
of any mark once made upon it. Those
who have had the benefit of good in
struction and understand proper meth
DDS of study can scarcely conceive the
difficulties under which such a boy
would labor in acquiring knowledge
without assistance A severer discipline
can hardly be imagined
