MY six year, old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
;aonths. She became affected by play
log with children who had it, although
we did not know it. By scratching she
caused large sores which were irritating.
Her body was complete sore but 1t was
worse on her arms and back. We en-
pioyed a physician who left medicine
bat it did not help her and l tried sew
tr,ai remedies bat without avail. See

she has requested her friends to give

present time Is rising quite steadily
and will with several good rains be
above normal. The river at seven
o'clock this morning was 6.S and is
continuing to rise. At ST. Paul, Mimi,
and La Corsse, Wis, the river is froZ-
en- over.
There is not an atom of ice left in
the canal at this place and boating on
this body of water is starting in again.
Several young men took trip up the
river in canoe on Sunday, going up
as far as Galland and returning with
out advent.
Fishermen are catching mud and
yellow cat in the river and are making
good hauls of this kinds of fish. Duck
hunters are having much success too,
and any number of them can be seen
on the river these fine days with
their boats well stacked with ducks,
and other game.
1t is not known exactly when the
boats will start running but if the
present weather conditions continue.
March will not have passed without
the familiar steamboat whistles echo
ing through the Mississippi valleys
and the boat season will be on for
another year.

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Why salves Fall While a Simple
Liquid Has Accomplished Thou
sands of Cures.

1t Is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema is purely 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 there
by prove they have no diseased blood.
Smeary salves cannot reach the
germs because they do not penetrate
the skin. The only way to reach the
germs is by means of penetrating
liquid.
Such liquid can be obtained by
simply mixing ordinary oil of winter
green with thymol, glyce-ine and other
healing agents. This compound,
known as D. D. D. Prescription, stops
the itch instantly-and the cures all
appear to be permanent. In fact, 1t
took thousands of cures, case after
case. before the best scientific authori-
ties were convinced of the absolute
merit of this remedy. D. D. d. Pre-
scription kills the germs in the itching
skin. It's effect is seen within one
minute after the first application. We
especially recommend D. D. D. Soap in
connection with the treatment.
