RASH ON FACE SPREAD

Granton, Wis-"My sister had .
very bad, deep. wet, running sore on
the side of her face and it ran up to
her ear. 1t commenced with small
blotch Of pimples which turned into
a kind of rash and spread rapidly. 1t
itched and looked red and sore for
some time and slightly swelled. A
thin fluid dripped and ran from the
sores which looked like water. Then
the swelling would go down and 1t
would keep on spreading. 1t bothered
her during sleep and she would be
restless. 1t was kind Of eczema.
"She treated for some time and 1t
did not help her. 1t kept spreading
larger and deeper. Having always
used Cuticura Soap we told her to try
1t SO she got some Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and used them. 1t was two
months when 1t was gone" (Signed)

utensils it is not necessary to discard
the dishes as no longer useful, for by
simple method they can be made TO
take solder. Insert a brass or copper
rivet in the hole. fatten both ends and
then solder over both the inside and
the outside surfaces in the usual man
