HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

about two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed, the
skin would scale off, and the good flesh
would burn and itch dreadfully. When
my hands first started to get sore,
there were small blisters like water
blisters which formed. They itched
dreadfully, 1t just seemed as though
I could tear the skin all off. I would
scratch them and the skin would peel
off, and the flesh would be all red and
crack open and bleed. 1t worried me
very much, as had never had any
thing the matter with my skin. was
so afraid I would have to give up my
employment.
my doctor said he didn't think It
would amount to anything. But it
kept getting worse. One day / saw
piece in one of the papers about a
lady who had had the same trouble
with her hands. She had used Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and was cured.

Twas in gilded restaurant
Where people came to eat,
A Southerner. all grim and gaunt,
Stepped in on eager feet.
He sat him down and ordered food
And suddenly and soon
The orchestra in joyful mood
Struck up that Dixie" tune.
There came a tumult of applause;
The Southerner was glad
He felt this honor to his Cause
And could no more be sad.
'fHurrahI Hurrah!" the diners cried
And straightway dropped their RS;
1t seemed as though with valiant pride
They'd showed their battle scars.
The Southerner then asked Of one
Who almost broke his dish
Applauding: "Whah all yo' from, sonr
He said: South Haven, Mich"

And one who cheered with glee
From Southport. Maine. had come; his

The widest of wild cheers
Until the folk about him held
Their hands upon their ears;
Another man whose voice was loud.
Whose hands gave blow on blow
In the applause that led the crowd
Was from South Charleston, o.
The Southerner looked all around
And pursed his grim old mouth,
And said: I'm glad that 1 have found
So many from the South
He seeks another place to eat
But everywhere he goes
When "Dixie's" played they stamp their
feet
And cheer It through the nose.

LIFE SAVED BY
FRIENDS ADVICE

About three years ago I suffered with
appendicitis and after having an operation
performed it left me with a severe case
of kidney trouble. I was doctored by sew
eral physicians and getting no relief took
the advice of a friend and procured bot
tie of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. After
taking the contents of the first bottle felt
greatly relieved and decided to continue it.
After using the contents of three more dol
lar bottles, experienced a complete cure.
I cannot recommend DIR. Kilmer's
swamp-Root too highly to anyone suffer
ing from kidney or bladder trouble.
Yours very truly,
