The Skin and Not the Blood.

Until recently it has been a gen,
orally accepted proposition that &C.
zema was a disease of the blood,
and that in order to cure it, the
blood must be purified and enriched
by Internal remedies. Careful ex-
periments and scientific investiga-
lions have taught us that eczema
is purely skin disease, and durable
through the skin alone. A great
majority of persons a...icted with
eczema have no other ailment,
which is accepted as positive proof
that it is purely a skin disease.
Having established this fact, the
chemists of the American Drug and
Press Association set about to COM
pound a prescription that would
successfully cope with this disease,
and after much investigating
brought out Meritol Eczema Rene
dy, the effect of which is marvellous.
If you are afflicted with this loath-
some disease, do not delay trying
Mertol Eczema Remedy. You will
be surprised at its prompt action,
its soothing effect and its perman-
ent results. Brunt & Parman are
commissioned by the association to
sell it in DEBORAH.

words and acts. or mentally ire
sponsible. The detention cell is
turned into a dungeon of torture,
and the terrible thing is that inno-
cent men and women are made to
suffer with the guilty. Those who
commit crimes are not the only
ones who are subjected to these ter
rible ordeals. If the guilty alone
were made to suffer this primitive
punishment the condition would be
bad enough. But they are not the
only ones. Let us unite to stop this
abuse before the self-appointed ad-
illustrators of uneven justice as
sumo the right to send men from
the holdover to the gallows or to
the penitentiary without allowing
them at least the privilege of a
formal trial.

THE THIRD DEGREE.
Popular Demand to Check Alleged
Abuse in Criminal Practice.

Uncle Sam seems inclined to take
hand, in answer to popular de-
mand, in the inquiry into the meth
ods employed somewhat generally,
especially in the cities, in admins
tering the so-called third degree,
says the Woman's National Daily.
The effort to correct or check this
alleged abuse is not prompted, it
would seem, by any desire to pre-
vent the punishment of criminals
or even to hinder those lawfully
seeking to ferret out and uncover
by the code is that an accused per-
son is presumed TO be innocent un-
til he is proven guilty. And this
guilt, the law says, must be estab-
lished by evidence, beyond a rea-
sonable doubt. Another provision
of the law is that no person accused
of crime shall be required to give
testimony which might tend to in
criminate himself. These provi-
sions are not mere fictions of the
law. So Jealous have the courts
been in obeying these admonitions
that until comparatively recent
time it has been the duty of those
making arrests to warn the prison.
er that anything he might say to
his own detriment would be used
against him in court. But it would
seem that this is no longer regarded
as the duty of the officer. In fact,
an entirely different method of pro-
cedure has been adopted and, in
many instances, countenanced.
1t is not necessary to recount the
cruel and inhuman processes re-
sorted to by the over-zealous con-
stable or detective in preparing his
case for court. He seems to have
assumed the right to appear, not as
an officer of the court sworn to see
that justice is done, but as perse-
cutor, prosecutor, Judge, jury and

because the person making the ar

own act or establish his SURPRISING

wait until the accused has been in

from the man in his power such
admissions or such contradictory
statements as will serve to warrant
the return of a true bill and final
verdict of guilt.
