! In Dreadful State
With Eczema Baby Lay
Between Life and Death.
Another Wonderful Cure by Hood's
Sarsaparilla.

when my baby was four months
old his face broke out with eczema.
The doctor said he would soon be all
right, but he steadily grew worse and
at sixteen months Of age, his lace,
hands and arms were III a dreadtul
state. The eczema seemed to be
spreading all over his body. His face
was so sore, we were obliged to put
mask or cloth over. it. We were
obliged also to tie up his hands and
arms to prevent him from scratching
the infiamed places. We, consulted
other doctors, used ointments and
saKes sent lis by friends and neigh
bors. Some of these things would
seem to have some effect, but after
few days would act like a poison, and
increase this stubborn disease.
Just one year ago this month baby
lay between life and death. We felt
that we must give up trying to find
any cure or relief. Our hearts were
just breaking and we had the sympa-
thy of friends and neighbors. Finally
my husband said I am going to try
Hoods Sarsaparilla and Hoods Olive
Ointment We began to use these
medicines and oh! the results were
astonishing! In few months he was
entirely free from that terrible eczema,
which had caused him so much sIf-
fering. Today he is a fine healthy

COMMON DUCKS PLENTIFUL.
Redheads and Canvasbacks Report
ed Scarce by Hunters,

Reports coming from the duck hunt
ing grounds Oh the upper part Of Chesa-
peak bay state that blackheads. mall
lards. sprigtail and other common duck
are abundant, but that redheads and
canvasback are scarce. Monday was
the third day Of the season for hunt
ing. and was tho first good day the
hunters have had.
The first and second days were any
thing else than good. Wednesday was
fair and warm, with practically no
breeze. and the few Of the quality
ducks which were on the flats failed
to dart. Friday the weather was so
stormy that those who did go out the
night before were obliged to return
owing to the roughness Of the water.
Monday the weather was crisp and
cold. and stiff breeze made the ducks
fly WELL There was, however, a marked
absence Of choice birds. for which the
hunters are unable to account 1t is
stated that the wild celery upon which
they feed is in abundance, and the cold
storm of last week was sufficient to
drive them from their northern haunts
to warmer climes.
Hunters from Washington. Baltimore,
Philadelphia and as far north as Bos-
ton, have been on the Susquehanna
fats this season.
