LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

While attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form Of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being inf1amed
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 I'M
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 a solid sore. This con-
dftion 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 it
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, 1 dOetored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally I decided to try
