SCALP ITCHED AND BURNED

S33 South Scioto St., Circleville,
Ohio.-'My little girpC trouble first
started on her head in bunch of lit
tie pimples full of yellow-looking mat
ter and they would spread in large
places. In a short time they would
open. Her scalp was awfully red and
infamed and the burning and itching
were SO T. 'ense that she would scratch
and rub till it would leave ugly sores.
The sores also appeared on her body,
and her clothing irritated them so
that had to put real soft cloth next
to her body. She would lie awake of
nights and was very worrisome. At
times she was tortured with itching
and burning.
Il tried different remedies with no
benefit for months. l had given up all
hope of her ever getting rid of it, then
I concluded to try Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. The second application
gave relief. In a short time she was
entirely cured" (Signed) Mrs. Alice

Calls for Inquiry.

London, May 30.-The London morn.
ing papers in commenting editorially
on the disaster call for thorough in
vestigation as to whether the bulk
heads were closed, and, If SO, how was
1t that the most modern system of
watertight compartments failed to
keep the ship from sinking?
The claim for the Empress of Ire.
land will be the heaviest suffered by
the Lloyds underwriters since the
sinking of the Titanic. 1t is expected
that the disaster: will give serious
check to the scheme for establishing
a Canadian Lloyds, with view of re.
ducing the rates charged in London
for insuring vessels navigating the
St. Lawrence.
Statistics show that the underwrit-
ers have consistently lost money on
such voyages, owing to the dangers of
the river and the prevalence Of fogs
and ice.
The Times, in an editorial, con.
siders that nothing could have saved
the Empress of Ireland, considering
the nature of the collision, but asks:
What was the Storstad doing to run
into the Empress of Ireland with such
suddenness and violence?"

AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa.
1t is true that nature and woman's
work mas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds Of
thousands of letters from women seek

over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
