stone walls. p
Eight trained nurses will graduate
from the institution about June 1. The
commencement address will be deliv-
cred by DR.. Charles w. Page. superin-
tendent of the Massachusetts, State

the first to abolish restraint in the shape
OF straightjackets, manacles, etc. from
patients, an innovation that DIR. Cotton
established here upon taking charge of
this institution. after it had been in
successful operation for nineteen years
In Massachusetts. DR.. Cotton will es-
tablish a museum in which the anti
quated appliances that we're formerly
used for restraint Of patients will be on

since the sticky salves, which clog the

agreed on a liquid remedy applied as
a wash.
We do not know of any eczema wash
which compares in value with the old

ton. We KNOW it's merits.
This simple, soothing wash, a mix
ture of oil of wintergreen, thymol,
slycerine, etc, takes away the itch in
