THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases of the skin and
scalp which torture and disfgure man
kind, three-fourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and it
Is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions al
fectlng the skin, ignorance of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is skin disease 1t is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, causing loss OF sleep, is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting of little vesicIes
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
yesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added to
torture.
One of the most successful trea.-
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the Oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings of Cuticura oint-
ment. For more than a generation.
these pure, sweet and gentle emoIl-
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief of all forms of eczemas, rashes,
itchings and irritations of the skin and
scalp. Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopeIessly and who have lost faith in
everything may make trial of them
without charge, a liberal sample of
each will be mailed free to any ad-

IN OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS
French Boy Caused Merriment by
Taking the Order Of the Court
Too Literally.

4 droll incident is reported az hay
ing taken place in one of the pro-
vincial appeal courts in France. A
boy, about IA, was summoned to give
evidence, and his appearance was such
as to move the whole court to laughter.
He wore long redingote, peculiar to
the Basque country, and immense
boots. His trousers, collar and hat
were unquestionably those of man.
The court was convulsed, and the
president asked the boy how he dared
to treat the court in such 4 manner.
The boy seemed as surprised as the
president, and taking out the citation
from his pocket, read the formula in
viting him, "Comparaitre dams les af-
