FACE INFLAMED
WITH ECZEMA
"Fruit-a-tiveS" The Marvellous
Fruit Medicine Cured After
Specialists Failed.
Another "Fruit-a-tiYes" Triumph

ELLA, New YORK.
ST suffered with Eczema in my face
for five years. Tried several doctors,
two of whom were specialists on Skin
Diseases, and got no help whatever.
Last April, I read an advertise
ment about DR.. E. N. Olzendam of
Dover, NH, being completely re-
ieved of a stubborn case of Eczema
similar to mine by the use of "Fruit-
a-tives" and "Sootha- Salva'.
On May 1st., began using these fruit
juice tablets and after two weeks saw
improvement. On June 1st., began
using SCOTIA Saliva and by the first
of August, was completely cured.
1 can now work on the hottest days
in summer and get my blood heated
and the Eczema does not bother me-.
RAY W. SPEED.
In all the history of medicine, there
has never been another treatment for
Eczema, Rashes and otherskin disea-
ses to compare with the peculiar
extract of fruit juices found in
"Fruit-a-tives" This famous fruit medi-
cine, used in connection with "Sootha
Saliva" is the ideal combination to
purify the blood, insure sound diges-
ton, correct constipation, and soothe
and heal the indamed, itching skin.

Dear M. B. Friends.

Are not the poem and the title
both significant? Doing the "little
things" too numerous to mention,
but filling good part of the time of
many a housekeeper day after day!
The machinery of housekeeping has
as many cogs to it's wheels as many a
wonderful invention. How many
times busy woman says II don't see
what l have been doing all day."
The different tasks seem small and
trifling and perhaps the reward is not
the same as that expressed in the last
line of the poem. SO she repeats to
herself "Be not weary in well-doing"
to fortify herself for another day of
doing little things.

Once-only once. | am glad to say
l heard farm woman say to her little
SON. For goodness sake, put away
those books! / am so sick of books I
could scream. | should like to burn
every book in the house"
The boy was a ten-year- old, with a
splendid mind, but he in common with
the mother and every one else in the
large family, was being overworked by
a stern father, who had no vision and
no love and no common sense. Billy
was supposed to be riding the hay
rake in a boiling sun, and after that
he was supposed to milk six cows. and
after that to do other chores, and after
that sleep on a comfortless bed and be
up at to milk his cows, carry in wood
and water, and run. run, run, in a mad
hurry all day long. till he dropped with
WEAKNESS at night.
His body was thin and his little
heart was turning sullen within him,
and l did not blame the child for steal
ing every minute he could to read and
rest. The poor mother had once loved
books herself, but in her slave driven
life she had forgotten all things of the
mind and soul, and the reason she
spoke as she did was that she was
half-crazed with the task of keeping
the foolish father from being angry
and keeping her children at their fear
full work-fearful for growing children
because it stunted them in body, mind
and soul
