New Discovery Cures Eczema and

Overnight,

A few months ago the dispensers OF

Of eczema. decided to allow the drug
gists of the country to handle Il.
Previous to that time II could only
be obtained direct from the labora-
tories.
Since this change In the method OF
distribution. poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success OF anything
introduced to the drug trade In the
last 30 years. All leading druggists
including Lee & Osgood and Smiths
Drug Store in Norwich, are now car
rying the special 50-cent size recently
adopted, also the 81 Jar.
This great success Is not surprising
when Il Is remembered that. in eeze-
ma cases, poslam stops the itching with
first application, proceeds to heal i'm
mediately, and cures chronic cases In
a few weeks. In minor skin troubl D.
such as pimples blackheads, acne,
herpes. blotches. rash, etc, results
show after an over night application.

The case Of Bessie A. Heath Of Col
chester VS.. Charles H. Heath, a suit
for non-support was not finished in the
superior court at New London Thurs
day.
The history of the courtship by mail
between Heath and his present wife,
then Miss Bessie A. Reeves Of HaZ-
N-dville, Conn.,, was given in full by
Heath. He said that it was a matri-
monial journal, The Pilot, which
brought him and the present Mrs.
Heath together. He saw Miss Reeves
advertisement in the matrimonial pa
per and as he was alone in the world
decided to answer. which he did. He
identified a letter written July 5, 1906,
as the first he had written Miss
Reeves. The letter was admitted and
was read by Heath at request Of his
attorney, Charles w. Comstock.
Then Heath visited Miss Reeves and
Miss Reeves rectprocated. making one
more visit to me than 1 did to her"
Finally, witness said, arrangements
were made for Miss Reeves coming to
live in Colchester with Heath, but
when Miss Reeves wanted to bring
some other women, Heath objected.
He wrote her a letter of protest as
follows: Il can't keep all of these
women and your horse. If it was only
your mother it would be all right"
The next day, Heath testified. Miss
Reeves arrived with a horse and car
riage which she said was hers. and
accompanied by her mother and anoth-
er woman, Miss Julia Murray.s This
was February II, 1908, and on Febru
airy 20 Heath and Miss Reeves were
married.
Mrs. Heath denied receiving the let
ter telling her not to come and then
her counsel, Attorneys Browning of
Norwich and c. Hadlai Hull of New
London objected to the letter because
they said their client had never receiv-
ed it.
Heath said that on one OF Der visits
Miss Reeves had left a supply of en-
velopes addressed to her at Hazard
vile so Heath would be sure to write
her. The statement that Miss Reeves
never received Heath's letter telling
her not to come riled Heath and he
said in proof of his claim that she did
receive it, that he found 1t as well as
the other letters he wrote her, in Mrs.
Heath's trunk after she left the Heath
house
"Did you ever strike your wife. as
she has testifed? Mr.. Comstock
asked.
II didn't. No such thing ever hap
pened. It's a falsehood from start to
finish, SAID Heath.
Did you kick her. as she has said? p
Mr. Comstock asked.
Never never" Heath said, with
emphasis.
Then Attorney Comstock asked the
client if it were true that once when
his wife had sent for Attorney Jere-
miah ]. Desmond of Norwich that as
Mr. Desmond came into the house
witness pushed his wife away from
the telephone as she was telephoning,
she cutting her hand.
Never. never" Heath sad again.
Heath denied that part Of his wife's
testimony where she said that he
struck her in the hack and that he
refused to allow people to come to
the house and said that he was all
ways glad to have people come TO the
house"
