TERRIBLE ITCHING ON NJ

Glen Wilton, Va.-"Fve years ago l
was in a terrible state of suffering
with blotches on my limbs, of the most
intense singing and itching. l could
not rest day or night; the itching was
so severe that 1t walked me out Of
sleep. I could get a full nights
rest. l actually scrubbed the very
flesh SO severely that in a short time
the affected places were SO sore I
could scarcely walk with any ease or
comfort. The places were a solid rails
ed up mass. l would scratch the parts
until they would bleed. l tried home
remedies but got no good; the itching
Just kept on getting worse. I used
some salve which simply was no good
at all.
II happened to see the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment advertisement and
wrote for a free sample. Almost like
magic l commenced getting relief.
bought a soc box of Cuticura Oint
ment and some Cuticura Soap and
was entirely cured from a torment
that would be hard to describe

those times, and said that l ought to
have an operation. Iwould not listen to
that, and when a friend of my husbands
told him about Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound and what it had done
for his wife, l was willing to take it.
Now l look the picture of health and feel
like it, too. l can do all my own house
work, work in the garden and entertain
company and enjoy them, and can walk
as far as any ordinary woman, any day
in the week. wish I could talk to every
suffering woman and girl, and tell them
what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has done for me."-Mrs.
DEMA BETHUNE, Sikeston, Mo.
Remember, the remedy which did this
was Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
1t has helped thousands of women who
have been troubled with displacements,
inflammation, liberation, tumors, irreg-

SPRINGS In Their Brains,

Two Frenchmen, in visiting an art
gallery, stopped to admire a painting
by an American. The artist happened
to be in the gallery and in broken
English one Of the Frenchmen asked:
"How did monsieur ever catch such a
wonderful picture?"
Co." replied the artist. with a far
away look, that painting was an off
spring of my brain"
The other Frenchman was greatly
interested and asked his friend what
that American had said.
Il can hardly explain" whispered
the first Frenchman excitedly; che
said re picture was one spring off Of
his brain. Ees eet any wonder Eat &c
Americans act queerly when they

Her Unfortunate Error.

A literary lady at a society dinner
was given a seat next to a noted
scientist whose views were very ma
terialistic, and at some remark he
made on the origin of mankind, the
lady found her temper tried beyond
all bearing, so that she retorted: II
really don't care what you say. l be-
lieve in the Bible, and there we are
told that Adam was the father Of all
living"
81 really think you are mistaken"
he said with a smile, and SO the sub
ject dropped.
A few days later the lady, writing
to a bosom friend, told her Of the oc
currence and added: II am too morti
fed, for l have looked the matter uI
and it only says that Eve was the
mother of all living, and so I dom
know whether to write to the profes
sor or not"

Eleuslnian Mysteries,

The Eleusinian Mysteries are sup
posed to have been instituted by Cad
mus of Athens, about B. c. 1850. The
famous festival was In honor Of De-
meter (Ceres). The Mysteries were
of a secret nature, and If any n re-
vealed them he was put to death.
They were introduced into Rome from
Elensis, where they were abolished by
Theodosius after having lasted for
more than 1900 years. The best &C.
count of the connection between the
Eleusinian Cult and Christianity will
be found in a work by DR.. Edwin
Hatch, entitled THE Influence Of
Greek Thought and Usages Upon the
Christian Church."

Blessed Sympathy.

Sympathy with animals blesses and
humanizes men and women. To get
into real relations with ar animal is a
liberal education. 1t is something to
be really interested even in a plant
and to observe the working of life to
any sphere not II own. How much
more when that life is directing a
personality which consciously looks
up to us and will love us IL we will
let it!-Christian Register.
