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 it
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 a 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 Is
caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filled 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 oint-
ment For more than a 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

In view of the general carelessness
about fire, it is not surprising that
the annual fire loss of the country is
so great On the contrary, it is more
remarkable that the loss is not even
greater. Very few smokers are care,
full. the carelessness about matches
includes every age, sex and condition,
and yet many losses both of property
and life may be traced to these two
causes. People take risks with fire
merely to save little trouble or con
venience. which risks are simply as
founding to sober second thought. and
the restriction of neither law nor GUS
tom are at all adequate when the
danger involved is considered. II Is
matter in which the general public
need almost elementary education.
