Peterson Bros, Dear Sirs I was afflicted with what the doctors said were Varicose Ulcers, and up until about five weeks ago 1 have been treating them for about a year and five m onths.
 With all the treatments that were prescribed to me by several doctors I received little benefit, and they kept spreading and gave me much distress and caused me to quit my work.
 l was induced by a brother brake man to try PetersOn's Ointment, and after l had used two boxes I saw the wonderful results. You can tell suf- fering ones troubled with ugly, pain ful and horrid ulcers that your Oint- ment is a cure for them when every thing else fails, as I have tried about everything.
 Thanking you many times over, I am, your happy friend, Chas. J. Hey ser, Battle Creek, Mich., 42 GlenWood Ave-, Jan 12, 1916.
 Know and dozens of people write me-, says Peterson "that Peterson's Ointment also cures eczema, old sores, salt rheum, piles and all skin diseases. and all druggists sell a big box for 25 cents.

GREAT AUSTRIAN
 OFFENSIVE STARTS
Heavy Achievements Moved Up
 Under Cover Of Forts

Paris, May IS, 5:45 a. m.-The at tack launched by Austrians against the Italian front in the southern Tyrol and which has gradually eX tended to the entire Austro-Italian front is being followed here with close attention. It is generally be- l;eVed in military circles that the great Austrian offensive, which has been expected for some time, has at last begun.
 No importance is attached to the falling back of the Italian advance lines which is considered an obvious rlove, as they were not sufficiently strong to resist an attack on a large scale. Although the Italian central position on the Lavarone Plateau is not yet involved it is thought prob able that the principal effort of the Austrians will be made in the direc- ton. It seems evident that the Aus trian generals intend to try and carry out their plan of smashing a way through to the Vicenza Plain. The fact that heavy achievements have been moved up under cover of the formida ble series of forts stretch ing from Folgaria and Lavarone favors the belief that Vicenza is the real objective of the offensive.
 The French military authorities are satisfied that the Austrians are doomed to failure regardless of what efforts they may make. It is pointed out that the Italians have made every possible preparation for just such an attack as the present and that the most powerful defenses that engineering skill could devise have been prepared on the Asiago Plateau and in the mountains northwest of Arsiero. It is on this line that the Italians are expected to make their real stand in the event the Austrians continue to push their offensive.
