\ Cure for Eczema.

Many people who have eczema and tried repeatedly to be cured without obtaining the desired re- suit will be interested in the fol- lowing statement by Mrs. Jas. E. Blair of Boston, Mass.
 My daughter has suffered from birth (for twenty years from ec- zema, and had tried many so-called cures and dozens of physicians pre- scriptiOns with but little or no re- lief until 1 was advised to have her try Bloodine and Bloodine Ooint- ment, and I am thankful today tC be able to inform you that she has been entirely cured after using six bottles of Bloodine and four boxes of Bloodine Ointment"
 What Mrs. Blair says is enough to convince the most skeptical that Bloodine and Bloodine Ointment used together will positively cure any case of eczema. Bloodine costs but fifty cents a bottle, six bottles for two dollars and a half Bloodine Liver Pills Curef fconstipa- ton. Mail orders filled by BloodinC Corporation, Boston, Mass.-Adv.

TWO AWARDED DAMAGES.
M. X \. \. Railroad Loses Cases at
 BerryVille.

BerryviIle, Aug. 29.-Circuit court adjourned here today, closing ten days session, the longest term of court held in the Eastern district of this county for many years
 The case of Catherine Mills against the Mo- X \. A, railway for the death of her husband near Cot ton Plant two years ago, resulted in a verdict for Mrs. Mills in the sum of 5000.

 For a few moments there was si- lence. Then a shrill voice far Ill in the gallery said, sweetly: "Wn you please tell us how you get tha smooth effect over the hips?"- Boston Herald.
