HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA.
Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol, Glyc-
crime, Etc, Used as a Simple
WASH.

1t really seems strange that SO
many people suffer year in and
year out with eczema, when it is
now no longer a secret that oil of
wintergreen mixed with thymol,
glycerine, ETC., makes a wash that
is bound to cure.
Old, obstinate cases, it is true,
cannot be cured in a few days,
but there is absolutely no sufferer
from eczema who ever used this
simple wash and did not find inn
mediately that wonderfully sooth-
ing, calm, cool sensation that
comes when the itch is taken
away. Instantly upon applying a
few drops of the wash the remedy
takes effect, the itch is allayed.
There is no need of experiment.
the patient knows at once.
Instead of trying to compound
the oil of wintergreen, thymol,
glycerine, ETC., in the right pro-
portions ourselves we are using a
which is universally
found the most effective. 1t is
known as the ID. d. ID. Prescription
or Oil of Wintergreen Compound
Ii is made by the ID. ID. ID. Co. of
Chicago, and our long experience
with this remedy has given us
great confidence in its merits.

Georgia has no state penitentiary
For years her convicts have been sold
into the mines, into the brick-kilns,
into the factories, where private greed
sometimes demanded and collected its
last ounce of human flesh and its final
drop of human blood.
But the state decided to abolish this
traffic in whites as well as blacks, so,
instead of selling its 1900 prisoners. 1t
will work them on the public roads.
The change went into effect yester-
day, when the convicts were returned
to the counties in which their crimes
had been committed. Most of the I'M
fortunates are blacks of low order
of intelligence, sentenced for every
conceivable crime.
Though shackled and ironed, the
convicts greeted the change with
shouts of joy and weird hymns OF
Negro preachers were
at most of the stockades and led the
blacks in their impromptu praise SER
vice. Special trains we're waiting and
the prisoners transferred as rapidly as
possible to their new quarters.
Strangely enough, some of the con-
victs cried on leaving scenes which
had been a part of the daily life OF
some of them for many years.
The new system, it is believed, will
not only improve the health of the con-
victs, but will assure Georgia the fin
est turnpikes in the south.
