The mandarins suggestively took the

Ten YEARS. TEST
OF ECZEMA CURE

After a 10 years test, oil of win
tergreen, as compounded in d. d.
D. Prescription, has so thoroughly,
SO absolutely proven it's merit for
skin disease, that we have ar
ranged with the d. d. d. Labora-
tories of Chicago for special offer
on 25-cent trial bottle.
We ourselves became convinced
years ago. Cure after cure and the
testimony of the worlds leading
skin specialists showed us that the
way to cure the skin is through the
skin; not, however, by means of
salve which always clogs the outer
skin, but with penetrating liquid
that gets to the inner skin, killing
the germs while soothing the
healthy tissue.
The Oil of Wintergreen Com
pound, D. d. d. Prescription, pene-
trates while soothing the skin; and
25-cent bottle-a good sized trial
bottle-is now offered, besides the
$100 bottles, in order to convince
everybody. For this trial bottle
ought to be enough to show the
way to the cure, and at any rate
the liquid the instant 1t is applied
will take away that itch-yes, just
as soon as the wash Is applied, the
skin is soothed and refreshed.

TOURIST RUSH TO SCENE OF THE
ERUPTION MAKES UP FOR LOSSES

First and last, fully 100000 peo-
pie ere said to have rushed into
the district thus far. Hotels, board
ing houses and private residences
have been packed as never before.
For the most primitive accommo-
dations prodigious prices have
been charged.
The damage done by the volcano
is placed at 100000. Consider
ing the lavishness with which the
visitors spent money and the ra-
pacity with which their landlords
gathered it in, the estimate that
this loss was more than made up
is probably moderate.
