ECZEMA IN RED BLoTcHEs

EOS Kanter Ave-, Detroit, Mich
Some time last summer I was taken
with eczema. 1t began in my hair
first with red blotches, then scaly,
spreading to my face. The blotches
were red on my face, dry and scaly,
not large; on my scalp they were
larger, some scabby. They came on
my hands. The inside of my hands
were all little Jumps as though full of
shot about one-sixteenth of an inch
under the skin. Then they went to
the outside and between and all over
my fingers. 1t also began on the bot
toms of my feet and the calves of my
legs, and itch, oh, my! / never had
anything like 1t and hope never will
again. The itching was terrible. MY
hands got so / could scarcely work.
Il tried different eczema ointments
but without results. I also took medi-
cine for it but it did no good. I saw
the advertisement for a sample OF
Cuticura Ointment and Soap and sent
for one. They did me so much good
bought some more, using them as
per directions, and in about three
weeks was well again. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment entirely cured me-"

Bowels Get Weak
AS Age Advances
The First Necessity is to
Keep fhe Bowels Gently
Open With a Mild
Laxative Tonic

Healthy old age is so absolutely de.
pendent upon the condition of the
bowels that great care should be taken
to see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive
and the liver does not store up the
juices that are necessary to prompt
digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat
Ing easily digested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter IS
irksome to most elderly people. One
thing is certain, that a state Of con-
stipation should always be avoided as
it is dangerous to life and health. The
best plan Is to take a mild laxative
as often as Is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty it is suggested
that cathartics, purgatives, physics,
salts and pills be avoided, as they do
but temporary good and are so harsh
as TO be shock to a delicate system.
A much better plan. and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing, Is 10 take a gentle laxative-tonic
like DR.. Cal6well's Syrup Pepsin,
which acts as nearly like nature as is
possible. In fact, the tendency of this
remedy Is to strengthen the stomach
and bowel muscles and so train them
to act naturally again, when medicines
OF all kinds can usually be dispensed
with. This is the opinion of many
people OF different ages. among them

If the defendants are acquitted, he claimed, the work of construct ing the railroad would continue and be completed to the coal fields, while the conviction of the defendants meant that the road must fail into the hands of the Guggenheims, who wish to gain control of the rich mineral re- sources of Alaska.
 Fink claimed that the jury might as we'll send Frost to the gallows as to send him to prison. The conviction means disgrace.
