ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY

Roxbury. Ohio.-'sWhen my little boy
was two weeks old he began breaking
out on his cheeks. The eczema began
just with pimples and they seemed to-
itch so badly he would scratch his
face and cause a matter to run.
Wherever that matter would touch it
would cause another pimple until it
spread all over his body. 1t caused
Disagreement while it lasted. He had.
fifteen places on one arm and his
head had several. The deepest places
on his cheeks were as large as a sill
yer dollar on each side. He was so
restless at night we had to put nit
tens on him to keep him from scratch
ing them with his finger nails. If he
got little too warm at night 1t
seemed to hurt badly.
I'VE tried a treatment and he didn't
get any better. He had the eczema
about three weeks when we began
using Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

When Uncle Sam took hold of the
canal work, the jungle all along the
route across the isthmus was found
full of expensive machinery abandoned
to the ravages of rust and decay. Much
of this was recovered and used in the

and even now French dredges and 10

Curtis by the arm and rushed him

a pulmotor applied to the body, but
Curtis died. He was the son of w.

any other pitcher who could have

"Chr,sty Mathewson, of the Giants,

many years. I would say that he is
among the best four the game has

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 15.-
Connie Mack says Rube Waddell,

HE was a pitcher every inch. You
