FACE DlsFIGUPEn WITH
SKIN TROUBLE

<3107 Foster Ave, Baltimore, Md
About five months ago little blisters
appeared on my face. They looked
like blisters from fire burns. They
itched and burned something terrible,
which caused me to$rub them and they
burst then sores appeared which dis
figured my face. My face was all full
of sores. The disease spread from my
face to my neck and back When any
thing touched them they would burn
and stick to my clothes. which kept
me from sleeping and made me suf-
fer terribly.
4 used home remedies and I used
q salve but it did no good. I suffered
about three months then saw the
Cutieura Soap and Ointment adver-
tised and thought would send and
get sample and try them / used the
sample of Cutieura Soap and ONT
ment and they helped me great deal,
SO bought some and used them about
two months and they completely cured

ANCIENT VESSEL is FOUND

The discovery OF an ancient ship EN-.
Dedded in the Thames mud at Wool
wieh has been made 10y Leo w. T.
Vincent. president of the Woolwich
Antiquarian society. 1t is his conclu-
sion that it is probably the Harry
Grace Dieu, the first line of battle
ship Of the British navy built, by, Hen
~ VIII, which met her fate in the
neighborhood OF the place of discov-
cry owing to the carelessness of the
mariners in 1853.
The vessel was built at the Royal
Doekyard, Woolwich, in 1912, and it
@as on board of her that King Henry
crossed to the Field Of the Cloth of
Gold From the size and construc-
ton OF the ship it is believed that
che was large man-of-war. and the
position in which she lies leads to
the conclusion that she must have run
ashore IN an ancient dock or creek. as
sac lies on an even keel twenty feet
oeloW the surface of the wharf. in
"Lich an excavation was being made
When the vessel was discovered.

IBackache Makes Anyone Feel Old

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
It is not alone the aching back, the stiff
painful joints, but the evil effect of bad,
poisoned blood on the nerves, the vital
organs and the digestion.
The condition of the kidneys makes good
health or ill-health.
The kidneys are the filters Of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-
cry day over one ounce of poisonous waste
and pass it off dissolved in the urine.
Ii the Kidneys are weak or diseased, only
part Of t- filtering is done and the blood
IS heavy nth uric acid and other poison
Gus or waste matter.
Instead of being nourished by the
blood, the nerves and vital organs are IL
ritated, and the circulation, digestion, ETC.,
are disturbed.
Ii your back aches constantly, II your
joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys.
Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull.
