INSANE AND STARVING.
Relatives Find Mother Demented-
Children Destitute.

Manhattan, June 4.-When George
Mcgee of Alma arrived to visit his
daughter, Mrs. Fred Sawallesh. 1t was
the first intimatfon he had that she
was in abject poverty and that the
family of seven were actually hungry.
To add to the sadness of the case the
mother was found to be suffering with
dementia, her mind having become
unbalanced when she received a let
ter from a justice of the peace in Car
rizozo, N. NJ, informing her that her
husband was in Jail and had been
pronounced insane and was unable to
remember his name, or anything else.
With her mind unbalanced, the
woman did not inform anyone OF the
facts in her or her husbands case,
and as a result the six children were
almost starved when found by their
grandfather and uncle.

SUI PnUR DRIES UP ECZEMA AND
 STOPS ITCHING
This old time skin healer is used just like any
 cold cream

With the first application of bold;
 sulphur cream the aLgry itohing at
 tending any eczema eruption ceases
 and its remarkable healing powers be-
 gin. Sulphur, says a renowned der
 matologist. just common bold-sul-
 phur, made into a thick cream will
 soothe and heal the skin when irritat- ed and broken out with Eczema or
 any form of eruption The moment 1t is applied all itching ceases and af- ter two or three applications the Eczema disappears, leaving the skin clear and smooth.
 He tells Eczema sufferers to get from any good pharmacy at ounce of bold-suIphur cream and apply it to the irTttated, inflamed skin. the same as you would any cold cream. For many years this soothing. heal ing sulphur has occupied secure position in the treatment of cutane eouS affections by reason of it's parasite destroying property It is not only parasiticidal, but also a.ntipruritfc, an- tiseptic and remarkably healing in all irritable and inflaunmatory conditions of the skin While not always estab- fishing permanent cure it never fails to instantly subdue the irritation and heal the TEczema right up and 1t is often years later before any eruption kssrs5n alaaaaxA on the al<iza--szAl7 l7y.
