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 disfigure man.
kind, three-fourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and 1t
is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af-
fecting 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 10
caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filed with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst. scales
form upon scales. and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added to
torture.
One Of the most successful treat
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 ONT
ment. For more than generation,
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli-
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
hopelessly and who have lost faith in
everything may make trial of them
without charge, liberal sample of
each will be mailed free to any adj
dress, together with a 32-page pamph-
let, giving description and treatment
of the various forms of eczema, as
well as other affections Of the skin,
scalp, hair and hands-send to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. w, Boston.

Not only there such outward evidences of
Egypt's wealth. From the burials come the very
objects with which the people were wont to sur
round themselves. The tombs of the kings have
given us the grave of Ioua and Tioua with its
chariot funeral sledges, mummy cases, chairs
beds, and jewel box-an giided and paneled; ala
baster vases and larder still stored with food.
Even the feather cushions have been preserved
these 1900 years.
The excavations of 1906 brought to light the
wonderful Hathor shrine with its statue of
Egypts cow-goddess plumed and crowned with
the lunar disc, trailing lotus blossoms from her
splendid head and with the stars of heaven gleam-
ing along her form. Beneath her knees the In
FAINT king whom she nourishes; before her stands
the dead king whom she protects.
The excavating Of ancient sites is tack that
calls for expert knowledge the utmost skill, pune

bought of. Before money is expended the ut

site. Trial trenches and shafts must be driven
