It began with small pimples, then they turned to one whole scab. The scab would break open and then it would bleed She suffered much. as she cried night and day.
 For one month I tried every thing, but without relief, until l sent for a sample of ResinOl Ointment and Resinol Soap Upon the first appli- cation I noticed a change, and after four days my baby was entirely cured. I cannot praise your remedies too highly, and recommend them to all my friends (Signed) Mrs. Henry Mosher, 154 Lewerenz Ave.

It is doctors prescription. that has been used by other physi- cians for eighteen years in the treat ment of eczema, ringworm, pimples, and all sorts of skin affections.

INTEREST INCREASING
 IN SPECIAL MEETINGS.
Evangelist Adams Has Large Congre- gations at First Methodist Church.

Since the beginning of the special meetings at the First Methodist church there has been a gradual in crease in interest. The meetings are of the right sort. At the Sunday morning service all present manifest ed a deep interest and showed their appreciation of the old-tlme gospel by returning in large numbers to the afternoon and evening meetings.
 Evangelist Adams sermons are plain and pointed, but there Is nothing in his manner or delivery that would sug- gest anything but the deepest inter est in the salvation of men. None are offended by the plain preaching; those who hear him once wish to hear him again.
 The meetings will continue through the week with MT. Adams in cnarge.
