STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

Some / years ago I noticed
small pimples breaking out on the
back of my hands. They became very
irritating, and gradually became
worse, SO that I could not sleep at
night. I consulted a physician who
treated me a long time. but 1t got
worse, and l could not put my hands
In water. I was treated at the hos
pital, and 1t was just the same. / was
TOLD that 1t was a very bad case of
eczema. Well, l just kept on using
everything that l could for nearly
eight years until / was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. I did SO, and I
found after a few applications and by
D~andag1ng my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
e could sleep well. and did not have
any itching during the night. l began
after a while to use Cuticura Soap for
! wash for them. and / think by using
The Soap and Ointment / was much
benefited. I stuck to the Cuticura
treatment. and thought If / could use
other remedies for over v years
with no result, and after only having
! few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment. 1 thought it
deserved a fair trial with a severe
and stubborn ease. used the Cint-
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 worlN. and If anyone
doubts 1t. let them write me and I
will give them the name of my physi.
clan. also the hospital I was treated
at (sfgned) Miss Mary A. Bentley,

FLAX is PROFITABLE
Wonderful Paying Proposition In
Western Canadian Prairies.

So much Is heard ce the wheat. oats
and barley grown in the prairie lands
of western Canada, and SO much has
been told of the wealth to be made
out of the raising Of cattle on.

of those fertile plains. that a
most important product has been az
most lost sight of. Flax. Recent press
reports advise us that OIL one of the
last boats to clear from Fort William
cat the head of Lake Superior) for
Buffalo, there were 241, 900 bushels of
flax valued at $5S3,220, and on another
boat leaving the same day there were
2SS,000 bushels valued at $720, 600.
There has been a big demand for Ca
madam flax this season, and the lake
movement has been very heavy. Flax
is always a sure crop, and gives to
the farmer who is anxious for quick
return after getting on his land, the
chance he is looking for. There is
opportunity for thousands yet, on the
free ~homesteads of $50 acres, and
many Of these are available within

that are already built or under con-
struction, either on the main line or
branches. Besides these free grant
lands there is an opportunity to pur-
chase from railway and land COM
panies at reasonable prices.
The display of western Canada's
grains in the straw as well as
threshed grains and grasses recently
made at st. Louis was an excellent
demonstration of what the country can

of the resources of that vast prairie
country, which during the past year
aas again proven its ability to pro-
luce excellent yields of wheat, oats
and barley-and flax. Not only this,
but the splendid herds of cattle are

a fund of information to be had by

erature, copies of which may be had
free by applying to your nearest Ca
