How to Bruk up a Cold
It may be a surprise to many to learn
that a severe cold can be completely
broken up in one or two day's time.
To do this however, prompt action is
necessary. The first symptoms of a
cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse
watery discharge from the nose, anu a
thin, white coating on the tongue.
When Chamberlain's cough reined y is
taken every noar on the first appear
of these symptons, it counteracts the
effect of the cold and restores the sys
tem to i healthy condition within a
day or two. For sale by Wm. Britt,

The Memory Machine.
Amnesia, or loss of memory, is cliiefly
Interesting to the psychologists as
throwing some light on the nature of
memory itself. A perfect act of mem
ory consists of three distinct acts? pres
ervation or fixation of certain states of
the nerve cells, reproduction of these
and. perhaps most remarkable of all,
recognition of them as reproductions in
their relations. Morbid states of the
memory may refer to any of these
phases of an act which is as marvelous
as anything in nature. There are about
*.000,000,000 nerve cells in the sur
face of the human brain. They never
die in health, and they are never re
placed or added to. This is memory's
machine.
The Dilettante Society.
An interesting old organization which
formerly existed in London? the Dilet
tante society ? originated with certain
gentlemen who, having traveled in
Italy, tried to encourage at home what
they had enjoyed abroad. This society
of lovers of the fine arts lasted 130
years. Walpole does not seem to have
looked upon it with a very favorable
eye, for he says, "The nominal qualifi
cation was to have been to Italy; thfe
real one was being drunk."

ITCHING ECZEMA
Suffered Tremendous Itching Over
Whole Body? Scratched Until
Bled ? Worse at Night, With
Soreness and Excruciating Pains
?A Western Lady's
WONDERFUL CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"Last year at this time I suffered
?with a tremendous itching on my
back, which grew worse and worse, un
til it spread over the whole body, and
only my face and hands were free.
For four months or so I suffered the
torments of the damned, and I had to
scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled.
At night when I went to bed things
got worse, and I had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until
I was as sore as could be, and until I
suffered excruciating pains. I did not
know what it was, and resorted t) a
number of blood purifiers, using at
times also Cuticura Soap. They told
me then that I was suffering from
eczema. Then I made up my mind
that 1 would also use Cuticura Oint
ment and Cuticura Resolvent. I used
them according to instructions, and very
soon indeed I was greatly relieved. I
continued until well, and now I am
ready to recommend the Cut icura Rem
edies to any one who suffers as did your
obedient servant. Mrs. Mary Metzger,
Sweetwater, Okla., June 28, 1905."
