STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

Some nine years ago / noticed
small pimples breaking out on the
back of my hands. They became very
irritating, and gradually became
worse, so that l could not sleep at
night. l consulted physician who
treated me long time, but it got
worse, and / could not put my hands
in water. / was treated at the hos
pital, and it was just the same. / was
told that it was a very bad casG of
eczema. Well, / just kept on using
everything that / could for nearly
eight years until / was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. ! did SC, and |
found after few applications and by
bandaging my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
could sleep well, and did not have
any itching during the night. began
after while to use Cuticura Soap for
a wash for them, and / think by using
the Soap and Ointment / was much
benefited. / stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, and thought If / could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result, and after only having
few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment, / thought it
deserved q fair trial with a severe
and stubborn case. / used the Oint-
ment and Soap for nearly six months,
and / am glad to say that / have
hands as clear as anyone.

FLAX is PROFITABLE
Wonderful Paying Proposition In
Western Canadian Prairies.

SO much is heard of the wheat, oats
and barley grown in the prairie lands
of western Canada, and SO much has
been told of the wealth to be made
out of the raising of cattle on
the succulent and rich grasses
of those fertile plains, that q
most important product has been al
most lost sight of, Flax Recent press
reports advise US that on one of the
last boats to clear from Fort William
Cat the head Of Lake Superior) for
Buffalo. there were 241, 900 bushels of
fax valued at 1892 and on another
boat leaving the same day there were
288, 900 bushels valued at $4,000.
There has been big demand for Ca
madam fax this season, and the lake
movement has been very heavy. Flax
is always a sure crop, and gives to
the farmer who is anxious for quick
return after getting on his land, the
chance he is looking for. There Is
opportunity for thousands yet, on the
free homesteads of $50 acres, and
many of these are available within
short distance Of the lines Of railway
that are already built or under con-
struction, either on the main line or
branches. Besides these free grant
lands there is an opportunity to pur-
chase from railway and land COM
panies at reasonable prices.
The display of western Canada's
grains in the straw as well as
threshed grains and grasses recently
made at st. Louis was an excellent
demonstration of what the country can
do. It proved splendid as an illustration
of the resources of that vast prairie
country, which during the past year
has again proven its ability to pro-
duce excellent yields of wheat, oats
and barley-and fax. Not only this,
but the splendid herds Of cattle are
a source of large revenue. There is
fund of information to be had by
reading the Canadian government lit
erature, copies of which may be had
free by applying to your nearest Ca
madam government agent.
