NO RELIEF FROM
INTENSE ITCHING

Tells of Wonderful Cure" by Resinol
Boston, Mass, Aug. Eel had &C.
zena in the worst way for six months
A small pimple on my right wrist kept
spreading until it was up to my elbows.
1t came out in spots and some places
were like water blisters. The itching
was intense and l had no relief what
ever. My fingers were all covered with
cracks and panied me very badly. My
hands and arms were all scales. The
burning was so bad it felt as if L had
been turned to a blister and the bis
ter rubbed off I tried everything 1
could hear about including many pre-
riptions. but h no relief. AS last
resort l tried Res-nol Soap and Resinol
Ointment The itching STOPPED AT
ONCE. Before 1 had used Resinol
Ointment and Resinol Soap three days
the redness had all gone, l could sleep
nights-no itching or burning-and
felt like a new woman. People who
knew me when l had this trouble were
surprised at the wonderful cure.

JOHN D.-BILLIONAIRE
Rise in Standard Oil Stocks Initiates
Oil Kings Fortune

New York. Sept 2s.-"John. D.
Rockefeller. Millionaire is the way
the oil king could have his cards en-
graved today, and everyone in Wall
street would accept it as a fact. When
Standard Oil of New Jersey hit $567
a share yesterday. it brought the coun-
ter value of the stock of Standard Oil
as it existed before the government
dissolved it as naughty trust, up to
$2,014 a share. This $2,014 repre-
sents the added values of each frac-
ton CT stock in subsidiary concerns to
which each share of the old Standard
of New Jersey was entitled.
John D. owns 247,69 shares. The
values of these holdings at the time
of the dissolution was $167,194,1
The value today, with yesterday
closing quotations as the basis, is
$49S, 1853, 02s.44. or nearly half a bill
lion. This. with Rockefeller's hold
ings in various banks, railroads, enor-
nous blocks of national, state and
municipal bonds. brings his total up
to the billion mark.
