ECZEMA BURNED AND iTCHED

203 Walnut ST., Hillsb0rO, uL-"My
child had a breaking out on the lower
limbs which developed into eczema.
The eczema began with pimples which
contained yellow corruption and from
the child's clothing they were greatly
irritated. They seemed to burn, which
made the child scratch them, resulting
in a mass of open places. They made
her SO cross and fretful that it was
impossible to keep her quiet. They
caused her to lose much sleep and she
was constantly tormented by severe
itching and burning.

when that vessel steamed into port
with five of the survivors of the tank
steamer Oklahoma.
Three Chief Officers.
The men who figured in the rescue
were the three chief officers of the
Gregory, a Booth liner, which is fresh
from a voyage of 1000 miles up the
Amazon. The five survivors brought
in by this vessel, with the eight on the
Bavaria, account for thirteen of the
thirty-eight men aboard the Oklahoma
when she was broken in two by the
waves Sunday.
These five survivors confirm the
story that the great ship was literally
split asunder by the seas. Suspended
on two huge waves at stem and stern,
the vessel buckled in the middle with
out warning.
Death List at 25.
The Oklahoma death list stands at
20 and while all her owners swept
the sea with wireless messages, inn
ploring all vessels to look out for one
of the steamers boats that might be
still adrift, there was little hope that
others OF the crew would be saved.
What little hope remained was based
on the fact that the men brought to
port by the Gregory said another life
boat besides theirs had been launched
from the sinking steamer There was
little doubt, however, that this was
the boat sighted by the revenue cut
ter Seneca, with three bodies under
it's thwarts. The other boat, which
carried the five survivors within reach
of the Gregory, contained but one
body when it was cast adrift after the
rescue.
