LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

! While attending school at Lebanon.
Ohio. in 1882, | became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
FEARS. when the affection assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn. and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and Itch SO as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin. and
at times the whole lower part OF my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better. and in fact
got worse all the time, SO much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time OF boils and
eczema, | doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country, but
TO no avail. Finally l decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which l did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cutfcura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
Ing. In very short time / began to
notice improvement. and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until l was
well again, and have not had a re-
eurrence of the trouble since, which is
over twenty years. l have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases"

The average old-time farmer was prone to look
upon bad roads as necessary evil He realized
in a sense what detrment they were to his in.
terests. but he put up with the situation because
he did not any way of the dlemma-at
least not without more work than he could afford
to give Then along the United States gov
ernment. when rural free delivery commenced to
be introduced, and declared that these rural mail
carriers could not be placed in districts where
the roads were not in fair condition This did
much to awaken the farmers to the situation for
every rural home prizes the boon OF a daily mail
delivery. And, at about the same time the farm
ers, who thus had their serious attention focused
upon the good roads question found as thew
looked closer. that bad roads meant hole in the
pocketbook OF every tiller Of the soil. 1t began
to be realized that if farmer required the serv-
Ices OF four horses and entire DAYS time TO
get a load of produce to market via bad roads the
loss to him was just as serious though he had
to accept a very low price for the yield of his
acres, Herein is found the supreme incentive
among many that has enlisted the progressive
farmer IN behalf of better roads
one OF the best things accom- plished for the
farmer by good roads is that ii has broadened
his markets With rocky muddy highways en-
forcing slow progress the average farmer was in
the old days restricted to one market town-the
one nearest his farm. Now with good roads he
can In shorter interval than was formerly re-
quired reach sny one of several communities To-
Gated in different directions. This enables him
to attain the market where he get the best
prices. Similarly with good roads the farmer IA
not likely to be so restricted to one railroad for
shipping facilities II the road nearest his farm
will not give him the he needs or otherwise
play fair he most likely has some redress by
driving across the countryside to a rival line
And the very fact that the Introduction of good
roads is destroying such monopolies has served
to render the railroads more obliging to their
farmer clients
The countrywide Highway Improvement
association which is to hold its first annual con-
gress in the near future will not seek drive out

they construct a mile two miles of Just the sort
of road that is ideal for that particular district
How beneficial these object lessons are is proven
by the fact that thousands OF miles Of good roads
have been built in various parts OF the country this
past few years with these governmental sample
roads as patterns. The showing made by rural
roads before and after treatment by the govern
ment road doctors has prompted state legislatures
