ALMOST FRANTIC WITH
J.. +: ITCHING ECZEMA . ...2 :.

Eight years ago I got eczema all
over my hands. Ny fingers fairly bled
and it itched until It almost drove me
frantic. The eruption began with
itching under the skin. It spread fast
from between the fingers around the
nails and all over the whole hands. I
got a pair Of rubber gloves in order to
wash dishes. Then it spread all over
the left side of my chest. A fine doc
tor treated the trouble two weeks, but
did me no good. / cried night and
day. Then I decided to- try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment but without much
hope as had gone SO long,. There
was marked change the second day,
and so on until I was entirely cured.
The Cuticura Soap we have always
kept in our home, and we decided
after that lesson that it is cheap
soap In price and the very best in
quality. My husband will use no other
soap in his shaving mug" (Signed)

countries and cattle are never killed for beef
Cows. which have been known In Corea for
scores Of centuries, are never MIXED, or were
not cntil few years ago, and the Coreans
never knew anything about dairy products.
In most countries the horse Is considered
better mount than the donkey. Not 80 In Corea.
There the meek and slow moving ass is re-
garded as the best riding animal
Street signs are relied upon In the cities of
other countries, and nowhere are they moro
used than in China, which formerly exercised
a shadowy suzerainty over Corea and was her
netghbor. But In Seoul they were not used at
all before tho Japanese came. In almost all
other countries women are fond Of going shop
ping and merchants strive to please them.
In Corea it is otherwose The women regard
shopping as necessary evil, and the mer-
chants keep their goods in closets instead of
on counters and shelves and in showcases.
The merchant does not hustle for trade or
argue for a sale. II the customer asks for
something else she is likely to be shown what
the merchant has and told that he has nothing
like what she wants. -

In most countries retailing liquors Is not
regarded as a suitable avenue of activity for
an aristocratic woman whose fortune has dwin-
died. In Corea lady in distress may operate
a saloon without fear Of any social stigma rest
ing upon her. And a bar is tho only kind Of
shop she may keep with impunity. Her maid
acts as barmaid, but the saloon is given
space In the residence without injuring the
tone of the establishment. woman Of social
distinction may make shoes provided she
makes such as the common people wear. To
make shoes for her own class would remove
her from that class.
A Corean lady in reduced circumstances may
ton from overcrowding the law of Corea be-
fore the japanese occupation, provided that no
woman who was not an aristocrat might prac.
tice medicine. Powdered tiger claws, bears
gall and other remedies that do not appear in
the pharmacopoeia are prescribed. But the
common custom is to cure disease by making
straw image Of the patient and emphasizing
the seat of the af1iction by making the at
ficted region or member abnormally large.
The manikin Is thrown out Of doors, and 1t is
believed that any one who picks it up will get
the disease.
Psychologists agree that this Is sometimes
the case, but they disagree with the Corean
physicians as to the relief of the patient by
this means. Tie appearance of the manikins
found in the street OF. along the roadside is
often 1udicrous. When all efforts to cast of
the devil fail the patient is put out Of doors
and left to die. =.
Even In the amusements of children con-
.trasts with western customs are observable.

What Active Treatment VIII
! : Dr.. Williams Pink Pns (
Accomplished IN a
Recent Case. T.

Mr.. Francis NJ. Poole, q harness max.
er. Of Garvin, Lyon Co., Mimi, says:
my illness started in 1902, with
sharp pains all through my limbs. AT
first thought it was rheumatism but
the pains kept getting more and moro
severe and grew steadily worse. Later
q numbneas came over my feet. 1t
gradually extended up my legs to my
spine and waist. By this time I had
lost all control of my legs. Next my
bladder and bowels were affected and
lost all control of them. At this stage
Of the disease / was perfectly helpless
and from November, 1905, to April,
1905, was confined to the bed. My
memory was so affected that thought
l would lose my mind. looked just
like a dead person: My lips and finger
nails were blue. I suffered with ter:
rible sharp, shooting pains and could
get relief only from the use of morphine.
Il was treated by five St. Paul doc
tors. All of them pronounced my case
locomotor ataxia. One said I could
not live year and another told my
wife all he could do for me was to give
medicine to relieve the pain. was
discouraged and, when my brother-in
law urged me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, did so willingly
for he had read OF their curing q case
similar to mine. I started to take the
pills in March, 1906, while l was still
confined to bed. I took several boxes
when l felt 4 slight change for the bet
ter and had healthier look. I was
finally able to go to the country but
kept on with the treatment. The
blush color left my lips and my eyes
became brighter. I took the pills q
long time and the next spring in May 1
could walk around. In June went to
work although still weak. I kept on
gaining and am now working without
the return of a symptom of my former
trouble and without losing days
work. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People absolutely cured me and I
want all fellow sufferers to know of my
wonderful recovery"

ment which cured this case should have

now there and in less than half an hour ono
of the hooks had caught one Of the monsters.
For ten or twenty seconds the victim tugged
vigorously to free himself and then remained
80 still that we thought it had escaped. How
ever, with view to examining the bait, we
began to pull in the rope. and with it came a
good-sized fish. To prevent a long struggle ]
put bullet into it's side the moment it reached
the surface of the water All at once 1t
stretched out and the harpoonist thrust his
weapon into its fiat forehead, about four to
five inches from the edge of the mouth.
Scarcely had we tied the prey to the side Of
the boat, when the men on the big steamer
began to fire at the sharks swimming all
around us. They did no damage to the sharks
and certainly did not improve our sport, for
none of the monsters appeared again for some
time.
AS my fellow fisherman had important bust
ness to transact took him ashore during the
forenoon, and returned to continue the sport.
About o'clock in the afternoon courageous
or very hungry shark attacked the bait four
times before he met his doom. AS an ex
pertinent l shot him in the belly, and the bullet
had a much more decisive effect than in the
case of the first fish, The length of the first
fish was 65 feet, and that Of the second rs
feet The former was yellowish-green in color
and the latter was striped like tiger.
On this day the sharks took little notice Of
the LARGE bait floating ON the surface and were
evidently looking for prey deeper down. I can
find no satisfactory explanation for this as the
weather conditions were practically the same
on both days. 1t Is possible that the differ
ence in bait was responsible, as the fat, dayel
sheep used on the first occasion were white
in color, while that employed on the second
day was dark in color and devoid Of fat. The
natives believe that the sight Of the shark u
defective, and that that is the reason the mon.
ster rarely attacks the brown-skinned nativeA
Perhaps they are right.
