takes his exercise all over the ship

BABY HAD PAINFUL ECZEMA

r. F. D. No. /, Lucerne, Colo
about two years ago my baby, who
was about four months old at that
time, was afflicted with eczema which
at first appeared on the back OF the
neck and kept constantly enlarging.
The eczema broke out in rash at
first and it was small and rough and
very red. 1t itched and burned so
much that he could not sleep we'll,
continually turning and twisting his
head as the eczema was on the back
of his neck where he could not get to
it to scratch we'll. But in rubbing so
much it became red and almost raw.
1t seemed very painful as the child
fretted constantly. After some time a
similar trouble appeared on the
cheeks.

John Bross gave great gasp as
he sat down among motley crew

He gazed with wonder at a young

and venturesomeness those who sought
the frontier were superior to the
average of those in their class who
stayed behind. 1t was the pike rather
than the carp that found their way
out of the pool. Now, in the main,
those who pushed through the open

than their fellows who did not. Often

they had Iecundity, as it were, in the
blood With land abundant and the
outlook encouraging, they married
earlier In the narrow life of the
young west, love and family were
stronger interests than in the older
society, hence all married. Thanks
to cheap living and to the need Of
helpers. the big family was Welcomed.

rivalry, luxury and a serving class all
