CURED ITCHING AND BURNING

Il was taken with the itch in April,
1904, and used most everything. I
had a friend pay me a visit from
Cumberland, and she advised me to
use Cuticura Remedies which / did.
The cure was certainly quick, and l
use them to this day. l had 1t terri
bly, under my knees. l only used one
box of pills, but two boxes of Cuti-
cura Ointment, and l use the Cuti-
cura Soap all the time. l hope this
will benefit others, as 1t has me, after

In a later letter Miss Johnson adds:
THE trouble began with an eruption
under my knees, and extended up
wards toward my waist, until I was
not able to sit down. 1t kept a con-
slant itching and burning all the time,
night and day. l went to my doctor,
but he could do me no good after |

gave me, and then told me l would

up my mind to try Cuticura Rem.
edies, and tried Cuticura Pills, ONT
ment and Soap, and was entirely
cured of the itching three days after
I started using them. The healing
took about eight days. I consider
Cuticura Remedies marvellous. and

Between 1880 and 1885 many por.
ions OF Mexico were visited by disas.
trous epidemics Of smallpox and
cholera, which caused the authorities
throughout the country to enforce the
orders In regard to the discontinuance
of all burials In churches and to pro-
vide municipal burial grounds in
which to inter all bodies. These mu.
nicipal cemeteries We're divided into
four parts, in three OF which the
graves we're rented and in the fourth
part burials could b. made without
charge. The three parts carried indi.
vidual scales of prices, but the short
est term of rental was for q space of
seven years. Graves could be rented
at a certain rate per each seven years,
or a perpetual right would be sold at
any time. Consequently the Weather
people were all buried in one division,
where practically all the rights were
taken for perpetuity, while In the
cheaper divisions many of he rights
would expire at the end of the first
seven years. When the time expired
and no payment was made to cover
the subsequent rental. the bones were
exhumed and placed on the bone pile.
which was periodically burned. This
plan is still continued in a few of the
interior places. but since 1860 most
of the larger municipalities have dis.
continued the practice of burning the
bones.
The arrangement Of the cemetery
of today in Mexico follows the same
plan of division. always providing one
section in which no charge is made
for burial. AS the greater part of the
population Is very poor this free di.
vision forms the largest part of the
burial grounds. These different divi.
sions are separated by high walls, as
is the entire cemetery separated from
the surrounding grounds. The en-
trance is arranged in the first or high.
est-priced division from which gate.
ways lead to the poorer divisions.
The first division is generally made

the upkeep OF the entire division.
The prices charged for lots vary
with the town or city. In the larger
cities there are often many divisions
made of the first-class lots according
to the ~desirability of their location.
In this way the very wealthy may
gain an excluslveness which is often
not possible in the smaller places. In
some instances In Mexico City lots
have sold for as high as $50 900. yet
the average frst-class lot can be rent.
ed for a period of seven years for SIC,
or a perpetual right can be obtained
for $3.50. In the second and third di,
vision. this price is greatly reduced.

In the first division are for perpetuity.

In his boat, winds a great goatskin bag

right hand a heavy stone, to which Is
attached a strong line, and thus

reaches the bottom. Instantly open.

springs is thought to be IN the green
hills of Oman. some 500 or 600 miles
distant.

Marion. O., sends along a peculiar
story, but because Of its previous good
conduct perhaps. 1t will pass. A
sealed can of tobacco was shipped to
one of Marion's big citizens, who, up
on opening 1t, while loosening up the
tobacco, found a live and thriving
honey bee snugly nesting In its
leaves. Fully alive to its release,

round that. by that time, all vestige OF
the former body has been destroyed.
In many places inches are made In
the walls surrounding the cemeteries
into which the bones are placed after
the expiration of the seven years. BY
law all bodies must be inferred for at
least this length of time, after which
the n may be removed from the
ground and placed in the inches, II
The relatives SO desire. Oftentimes
one niche Is Used for an entire FAMILY.
The bones are carefully removed from
the grave and, after being placed In a
small box or urn, they are deposited
In the niche. The opening is her
closed In such q way as to render the
space alright. The usual lettering Is
placed on the exterior, giving the
name of those whose remains are
within, together With the date OF their
birth and death, much the same as ne
inscriptions on tombstones.
The average rental for O. niche Is
$25, which pays for the perpetual USE
no rentals being made ON any other
basis. This method is used more gen.
orally by people Of the middle CLASS
who are not able to buy a perpetual
right in the first division of the bury
ing ground, but who generally rent a
grave in the second or third DIVISION
and at the expiration of ut seven
years move the remains TO the niches.
In the city of Oaxaca. In the south
ern part OF the republic. inches were
built for the first time more than SIX
ty years ago. Shortly after they mad
been built an epidemic OF cholera
made great ravages or tho population.
People died so rapidly that II was I'M
possible to prepare a sufficient num-
Der of graves to bury them. In order
to stamp out the pestilence by COM
pletely disposing Of the remains, the
bodies were placed in the inches and
the opening closed and thoroughly &C.
mented. The wall containing these
inches stands today. being the west
ern wall of the first division In the
Oaxaca cemetery. Last year 1t was
discovered that one side OF this wall
was sinking and a great crack had
appeared, passing through some OF the
inches where the cholera victims had
been placed. Many people were frigh'
tened lest another cholera epidemic
should ensue. The authorities hastily
closed the opening and consulted emf
nent authorities as to the possible dan
ger that might result.
So many years had passed since the
appearance of the cholera, and with
the continual sunshine peculiar to Oak.
AGA. the wall containing the inches
had been bathed In sun nearly every
day for the entire period. 1t was the
opinion of the medical authorities con.
suited that no better place could have
been found for the cholera victims, as
the germ of this disease lives only so
long as moisture is available, but once
thoroughly dried no danger a come
from 1t. The sections at the cemetery
had unknowingly made the best posi-
BILE disposition Of the bodies and this
perhaps did much toward checking
the spread OF the dread disease.

itself in the night Of time" Black.

which enforced the carrying Of a
pound OF heated metal by the accused
for a great distance, and the ordeal
of hot water. in which by way of
variation a stone had to be withdrawn
from a pitcher Of boiling water. No
attempt at reform in this direction
was made by William the Conqueror.

toms observed in English.speaking
countries.
Practically all of the aborigines OF
the country were converted to Cathol'
icism during the early years OF the
conquest. Previous to 1926, all dead
were buried in the churches. for to be
buried In cOnsecrated ground was a
universal desire. The floors and walls
of the churches necessarily soon be.
came honeycombed with excavations
and inches In which the dead had
been placed.
A charge, varying from O few dol.
lars to thousands, according to the sit.
uation in the church, was collected for
the right Of burial. Proximity to the
altar was most desired and the wri.
tings left by the priests tell OF fabu.
lous sums paid for certain sections in
the more famous churches. The poor
er classes We're buried in the more dis.
tant parts Of the churches, generally
in a catacomb, which provided sew
eral hundred inches on each side of a
long passageway or tunnel. Certain
catacombs were set aside for paupers,
but for the most part graves were
rented for a certain period OF time
or for ~perpetuity. 1t vas a general
practice to pay for q term Of five or
ten years, and on the expiration of
this time, when no further rental was
forthcoming, the bones were moved to
the charity catacomb, where they
were left with the hundreds of uni
Identified. The grave was then re-
sold.
This custom was practiced for 200
years, and only those familiar with
the great number of churches exist.
ing in Mexico can imagine how the
dead were buried in the limited
ground inclosed within the walls of
the churches. 1t ear be said truth
fully that every church in Mexico
marks the burial place of thousands.
Absolute necessity caused the clos.
ing of all graves with cement. but
through carelessness this las not al
ways done properly, and early in the
last century many Of the epidemics
which were then scOurging the coun-
try were traced directly to the custom
OF burial in the churches. The mat.
ter was called to the attention OF the
authorities by the physicians of the
time, and. ultimately orders were is.
sued throughout the republic prohib,
iting further burials In the churches.
For many years the order could be en-,
forced only partially, owing to politi-
cal difficulties within the country and
the refusal Of the priests to comply
with the order, as well as the genera
desire among the residents to follow
the old custom Of being buried in hal.
lowed ground. According to their
ideas this hallowed ground could ex.
list only within the space inclosed by
| the walls of the church.
