Thomasville, Ala suffered with
eczema on my hands and feet two or
three years. About eleven years ago I
became troubled with an itching. burn
ing eruption which came on my hands
and feet In little water blisters and In
about a day or two when l would let
the water out or wash 1t out, using my
hands, then the places would tester
and itch to beat the band. I could not
do any work that vas rough IN my
hands at all. II caused me great sufs
fering and inconvenience.
Il tried everything that ! knew OF
or was told and never q really re-
lieved until I began using Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. I would wash the
parts In water with the Cuticura Soap
and then when I dried them ! would ap-
ply the Cuticura Ointment on the sur
face In the daytime, and at night I
would get n soft piece OF cloth and
apply the Cuticura Ointment on my
hands and let II stay hat way all
night. A perfect cure was effected.
No one will ever know how glad ! was

traffic amounted to much moro than
the revenues.

aimed at the county which he repre-
scented, and would work n hardship or
every county in which a city was To-
Gated. and ne asked the house to ster
in and prevent this municipal high
way robbery" He declared that in
1896. the city had annexed property
of the counties. estimated at over s.,
coo. 600. and now under this new plan
would take in property valued at over
$40, 100000. Taking figures he had
compiled. the speaker showed the

ing to annex. declaring they would
house 100000. and he asked the mem.
GERS of the house where Richmond
was going to get 100000 TO put or
these lots
Mr.. Myers again took the floor, de-
claring that Henrico county, after the
had taken place, would be
the eighth richest county in Virginia,
for since the 1906 annexation, the
property values of the equity have in
seased more than double. He said
It was not Richmond that was clamor-
ng TO take in this property, but the
citizens who lived in these sections
that were clamoring to get in. This
fact he said was strongly augmented
by those who appeared before the
committee on counties, cities and
towns. Not q single citizen, he de-
clared, appeared against the anneXa-
ton plan. but only officers holding fee
jobs i'll the counties of Henrico and
Chesterfield and paid attorneys, and
further he said the majority Of the
people who desired to come into the
city. were people who elected Gum.
The call for the pending question
stopped further debate and the vote
on the reconsideration of the vote by
which the amendment was adopted
was taken. On the vote by hand, the
