The eczema got so bad in around the pit of my thumbs without deep cracks appearing. went to my doctor, but his medicine could only stop the itching and did not seem to heal my hands up at all.- At night l suffered SO fearfully that could not sleep, often lying awake until well toward morning, then waking up still tired. l am chef and steward by trade and had to give up my place. as my hands were so terrible to look at that they did not like to have me around about the food. could not bear to touch them with water, but when positively had to get my hands clean 1 would rub them with oil.
 This sort of business went on for three months and I kept trying zinc and tar ointments and such remedies with no particular benefit. I did not know what to dO, TOT was Ialrly worn out. For long time several friends kept asking me why I didn't use Cuti- cura and at last l thought I would. First I got the Cuticura Soap, then Cuticura Ointment and at last Cuticura Resolvent.

In the morn ing the inside of the gloves would be lined with scales, sometimes half as long as your finger, leaving nice healed places where the scales had been. In now for nine months.

If COnstipated
 Test Is Free.

Every year intelligent people are dressing more lightly and paying more attention to their health. If person eats what is sufficient for his bodily requirments he will give the blood plenty of strength to warm the re- motest points of the body. It is, as you see, much more ques- tion of blood than of heavy clothing, but the stomach and bowels, neverthe- less, regulate the quality of the blood. Of first importance is the daily move ment of@the bowels, so that the waste matter may be carried from the system and not get in the blood. If person has less than one movement of the bowels in each 24 hours, he or she Is constipated. If constipated there is no better cure than Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It cures so permanently and scientifically that eventually you will kind, and that is the point you are aiming at. You cannot expect per- manent results from salts, powders, cathartic pills or pugative tablets. They are at best but temporary reliefs.

That is the experience among others, of Mrs. Bennison of Kewanee,- H., and John M. Neeskern of Bennett, Ia. \ This wonderful herb laxative comA pound can be obtained of any druggist at 50 cents or $1 a bottle, frequently in itself sufficient for a cure.
