Sir; | do not know whom your
correspondent from Georgetown
may be, and while I thank YOU for
the prominence which you give to
the few remarks / made to the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union at
Georgetown on Wednesday OF this

cally from the statement attributed
to me by your correspondent
What l did say was that II the ef-
fort TO force re-submission in Kent
and Sussex counties won. the fault
would be chargable to the indiffer-
ence Of the membership of the Chris
tian church in those counties.
| could not have been so foolish as
to charge the Women's Christian
Temperance Union with lack Of in
terest, as Il is one Of the most mill
tant temperance organizations in
this State. Furthermore. while / am
an advocate of equal suffrage, / did
not say that equal suffrage would
prove panacea for all the ills which
we are subject TO by reason of the
presence of the saloon. Trusting
that you will give publicity 10 this

Says SULPHUR IS
sure TO relieve
itching eczema
Get an ounce Of bold-sulphur cream
and heal skin eruptions right up.

Any breaking out or irritation on the
face, arms, legs or body when accom-
panied by itching. or when the skin is
dry and feverish, can be readily over
come by applying a little bold-sulphur
cream, says a noted dermatologist.
He informs us that bold-sulphur in
stantly allays the angry itching and ir-
ritation and soothes and heals the Ec-
zema right up leaving the skin clear and
smooth Bold-sulphur has occupied a
secure position for many years in the
treatment of cutaneous disorders be-
cause of its Notwithstanding proper
ty. Nothing has ever been found TO
take its place in treating the irritable
and inhammatory skin affections. While
not always establishing a permanent
cure it never fails to subdue the itching
irritation and drive the Eczema away
and it is often years later before any
eruption again appears on the skin.
Those troubled should obtain at any
pharmacy an ounce Of bold-sulphuI
cream which is applied to the affected
parts in the same manner, as an ordi-
nary cold cream. It isn't unpleasant
and the prompt relief afforded, particu-
larly in itching eczema, proves very well
come.
