STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

Some nine years ago I 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 a physician who
treated me a long time, but it got
worse, and I could not put my hands
in water. was treated at the hos
pital, and It was just the same. I was
told that it was a very bad case Of
eczema. Well, I just kept on using
everything that I could for nearly
eight years until I was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. I did so, and I
found after a few applications and by
bandaging my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
l could sleep well, and did not have
any itching during the night I began
after a while to use Cuticura Soap for
q wash for them, and I think by using
the Soap and Ointment l was much
benefited I stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, and thought If I could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result, and after only having
few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment, I thought it
deserved fair trial with a severe
and stubborn case. I used the ONT
ment and Soap for nearly six months,
and I am glad to say that I have
hands as clear as anyone.
1T IS my wish that you publish this
letter to all the world, and if anyone
doubts 1t. let them write me and I

Birds as a general rule, do not go
in for cycling They prefer aviation
to land machines, and man has still
much to learn from them before the
problem of soaring and sailing
through cross currents of air may be
said to have been conclusively solved.
But here is a cockatoo earning its
own living by riding a bicycle on the
vaudeville stage in Berlin. The ac-
companying illustration from an

the kind of feats this bird performs.
