LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, In 1882, l became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affliction assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being infiamed
most OF the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
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 solid sore. This con-
dition 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 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, / doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country. but
to no avail. Finally decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which l did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resclvent, applying
the Clticura Ointment to the sores,
and osing the Cuticura Soap for wash

notes improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until j was

currence of the trouble since, which is

BOATMAN HAD HIS OWN IDEAS
Absence of Expected Zip" Brought
Out Excellent Sample of Real
Irish Wit.

A good story Of Irish repartee has
been published concerning John
Bright. He was always ready for sal
mon fishing. and on several occasions
went to Ireland with Mr.. George Pea
body. the American philanthropist.
One day Mr.. Bright, noticing a po-
liceman on the bank, inquired of him
what sum the boatmen were entitled
TO ask for rowing up the shannon on
days fishing. lie said that from
seven shillings end sixpence to ten
shillings was the usual payment
Mr.. Bright said to Mr.. Peabody.

Mr. Peabody produced the money
and gave it to the boatman. He was
dissatisfied. and said:

p. M. Ry. Taxes Lowered

The state tax commission is pre-
pairing final figures on the assessed
valuation of the corporations in the
state who are assessed under the ad
valorem system of taxation. The re-
port shows that the Pere Marquette
valuation has been reduced 100000
by the commission from their tenta-
tive assessment made a few weeks
ago. This decrease, ii is stated, is
on account of the fact that the com
mission is in sympathy with the
road, owing TO its present financial
condition.

acquisition; what he attains, is growth.

Resigns, Avoiding court.martiaI.

The Ainsworth incident, which for
a time promised sensational court
martial, is generally regarded as
closed. With Gen. Ainsworth on the
retired list at his own request, and
the proposed disciplinary proceedings
against him abandoned by the war
department, there was little thought
that the former adiutant-general's
friends in congress would make a
