DOCTOR PRESCRIHES
CUTlCURA REMEDIES

II wish to let you know of a couple
of recent cures which l have made
by the use of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, Mr.. of this city
came to my office, troubled with a
severe skin eruption. 1t was dermatitis
in it's worst form. 1t started with a
elight eruption and would affect most
parts of his body, thighs, elbows,
chest, back and abdomen-and would
terminate In little pustules. The itch
Ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try
ing to get relief. recommended all
the various treatments I could think
of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
"In the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some Of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them a fair trial.
But as l did not know much about

whether it would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths of Cuticura
Soap and applications of Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improve
ment and in few days she was COM
pletely cured.
II lost no time in recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. -,
and this was two months ago. told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment generously. Believe
me, from the very first days use Of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use / have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have good word for
them now that am convinced of
their wonderful merits" (Signed) B.

was the particular form of melody transmitted
and the results were really surprising in many
respects. For one thing the music as heard
at the other end of the line was remarkably
clear and sweet. Indeed 1t was seemingly
more perfect tone production than that obtain
able under any other conditions inasmuch as
the telephone served to entirely eliminate the
needle nose," the on suggestion of the me-
chanical which talking machine inventors have
never been able to entirely eliminate 1t is
believed that this disclosure of the possibili-
ties of transmitting music by phone will ulti-
mately enable people to enjoy concerts by the
best vocal and instrumental talent when seat
ed in their own homes. This would, of course,
prove an especial boon in the case of subur-
banites and residents of the rural districts
where the use of the telephone has increased
so tremendously in recent years. In the ex-
periments with multiplex telephony the graph
ophone music was employed to still further
demonstrate the possibility of using a single
wire for the transmission of various messages
simultaneously, each independent of the others.
For instance, on one occasion Caruso, by
means of "talker," sang on the line while

cited into separate transmitter close at hand)
was carried over the same wire at the same
time without in any way interfering with the
famous tenors voice.
nical equipment none bids fair to ultimately
work greater wonders than the lately intro
duced Pulmotor. The Pulmotor is delicate
ly adjusted machine that occupied a portable
case not much larger than the ordinary dress
suit case and its function is to bring back to
life persons supposed to be dead. The gov
eminent provided the first of these new mir
acle workers for the use of the newly estab-
lished United States bureau of mines in its
work of rescuing men overcome by the poison
Gus gases in coal mines, but the advent of the
invention is opening up life-saving possibilities
in other fields, as, for instance, at bathing
beaches and in city hospitals-in short in any
case where death is threatened through the
filling of the lungs with gas or water.
The Pulmotor is, In effect, an automatic
breathing machine, It's function being to draw
the poisonous gases out of the lungs and to
force into the lungs in turn the lfe-giving
oxygen. The mechanism includes a cylinder in
which oxygen is stored under pressure, a blow
ing and suction valve actuated by two accordion
bellows, and hood or mask which fits over the
mouth and nostrils of the patient making an

cries of ways and means for doing things that
have been done heretofore but of doing them
more easily, more quickly, more economically
or more effectively than has heretofore been
deemed possible.
The national government has been taking
the lead in scientific mechanical and engi-
neering development to constantly increas-
ing extent in late years. For of course, the
reader will understand that in speaking of
Uncle Sans current triumphs in the field of
invention and experiment. reference is made
not to the federal government as represented
by its own experts and employees. Now the
national government has always been con-
tributoE 20 the cause of science and invention,
there being dual reasons for its activity in
such direction. On the one hand the central
government with paternal instinct has been
bound to contribute in every way to the we'll
being of the whole people and as is well
known such benefit is more often than not con-
ferred through the instrumentality of scien-
tific discoveries and inventions. Obviously
then 1t IN up to Uncle Sam to foster Yankee
ingenuity by every possible means.
Yet the second incentive to federal activity
in this broad field has been even more of
spur than the first. 1t arises from the fact
that the national government is, to extent

and the mechanical lungs of the machine. 1t is
said of this new invention that it will make

the diaphragm to move in body in which life

making it one of the worlds most expensive

one of the most effective. Comparatively little
experience is required for it's successful opera

Government officials have within the past few
months invented several new machines for
qlickening and cheapening the manufacture OF
paper money and postage stamps and whereas
these inventions may not find very extensive
adoption outside the government workshops.

visible hand and almost more quickly than
the eye can follow the operation, these nails
are one and all drawn to the highly magnetized
surface.
This new magnet, worlds record breaker
in size as we'll as in power, was constructed
specially for the United States government by
a firm of instrument makers in Switzerland.
The circumstances connected with the design
ing of the magnet illustrate how great minds
may run in the same direction. Mr.. Frederick
Bates the United States government expert
who is at the head of the division OF poarimet-
~ at the bureau of standards and working in
conjunction with other government scientists,
just worked out the detailed plans for such
magnet when he discovered that the foreign
instrument makers who ultimately built this
one for our government had been covering the
same ground at the same time, each inventor
unconscious of the activities of his rival on the
opposite side of the Atlantic.
Perhaps the most unusual attribute of this
magnet Is that it is made available for con-
tinuous use, this being accomplished by re-
placing ordinary insulated wires such as are
commonly used with copper tape. This cop
per tape is surrounded by insulating oil.
Through this oil there are run coils Of copper
tubing about one-half inch in diameter and
through this tubing cold water is circulated to
carry off the enormous heat which is devel-
oped. In the same room with the new magnet
is yet newer inventon-the product of gov
eminent scientists-which promises great
things 1t is known as vacuum gauge and it
will enable more minute and more accurate
measurement than has heretofore been posi-

One of the most notable of Uncle Sans
scientific triumphs of the present year is the
new system of multiplex telephony mentioned
above and which by it's disclosure of method
of transmitting a number of telephone mes
sages simultaneously over the same wire is
pected to greatly reduce the cost of long dis
lance telephone conversation. In connection
with the development of this new form of tel
ephony which will make one wire do the work
of ten, Major Squier and his associates have
carried on some experiments which. though
originally intended only as a means to an end,
now promise to have a distinct value of tner
own in disclosing the possibilities of transmit
ting music by telephone.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD T.

view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing bilicusness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman wh6
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have q clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
l had my way would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and SO paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead Of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic
