Salt rheum is one Of the worst ant

the skin, itches oozes, dries and

which is commonly worse at night.
Local applications may do some
good, but they can not permanently
relieve. The disease will continue to
annoy pain and perhaps agonize
until the blood has been purified and
the general health improved.

Fireproof Clothes.

DR.. William H. Perkin, the English

ing cotton cloth absolutely 1reproof
so that it will not burn even when held
in gas-flame. One fireproof garment
was unharmed by twenty washings,
and another which had been worn for
two years and washed every week.
Neither could be burned, though the
latter was worn almost to rags. This
fireproof cloth costs about penny a
yard more than untreated cloth.
Not only viii this fireproofed mate

may also be used by women for the

was in EmergerFy Hospital for a
considerable time, and after he got
out started wandering. Sinl,e that
time he was unable to give any ac-
count of his movements.
Mr.. Klema has interested himself
in the case of Van VIE and had given
him one treatment
This afternoon he started to work
again and managed to push the two
back into place Van VIE
then became unconscious. A little
later he turned over and began to
stret-h like a man awakening from a
