DOCTOR CURED
?? OF ECZEMA
Maryland Physician Cures Himself of
Eczema with Cuticura Remedies. ,
Prescribes Thsm and Has Cured
Many Cases Where Other Formulas
Have Failed ? Dr. Fisher Says:
CUTICURA REMEDIES
POSSESS TRUE MERIT
" My face wis afflicted with eczema
to the year 1S97. I used the Cuticura
Remedies, and was entirely cured. I
am a practicing physician and very
often proscribe Cuticura Resolvent and
Cuticura Soap in cases of eczema, and
they have cured where other formulas
have failed. I am not in the habit of :
endorsing patent medicines, but when
I find remedies po-s< ssing true merit,
such as the Cuticura Remedies do, I ara
broad-minded enough to proclaim their
virtues to the world. I have been prac
ticing medicine for sixteen years, and
must say I find yonv Remedies A No. 1.
You are at liberty to publish this letter,
or anv part of it. I remain, very truly
vours, G. M. Fisher, M. D., Big Pool,
Md., May 24, 1905."

Water and Cuticura Soap, to cleans*
the surface of crusts and scales and i
Boften the thickened cuticle; drv.
without hard rubbing, and apply
Cuticura Ointment freely, to allay
itching, irritation, and inflammation,
and soothe and heal; and, lastly, take |
Cuticura Resolvent Pills to cool and
cleanse the blood. A single set. costing .
but one dollar, is often sufficient to
cure the most torturing, disfiguring,
Itching, burning, and scaly skin, scalp,
and blood humors, with loss of hair,
from infancy to age, when all else fails.

THE ARKANSAS HOG.
It Can Outrun a Greyhound and Whip
a Wolf or a Bear.
Au esteemed contemporary ga\e
space to ;';e following communication
from a sulwerllier on "The American
Hog:"
"Arkansas bus a greater variety of
he-- ami loss port; and lard tlinu an.v
state in the I'ulon. Au average hog in
Ar?uus;is weighs about fourteen
pounds dressed ?itJi its bead on and
about six |K>uiids and a half with its
bead off. it can outrun a greyhound,
jump a rail fence, climb like a parrot
and live on grass roots and rabbit
tracks. It hasu't much tall or bristle,
but plenty of gall. It will lick a wolf
or a bear in a fair fight. It is called
raznrback because it Is shaped like a
snutish. In hunting a razorback It
Is always shot at sideways, for there
Is not a ghost of a show to hit It
otherwise, auy more than to shoot at
a split sliingle. U can drink milk out
of a quart Jar on account of Its long,
thin head. This type of razor back is
kuown as the stone hog because its
head is go heavy and Its n.ne so long
that it bab.uces up behind. The owner
of this type of liugs usually ties a stone
to its tall 10 keep It from overbalanc
ing and breaking Its neck while rue
uiug. If tlie stone Is too heavy, it will
pull the skin over its eye<. and It will
go blind."
Switzerland a Modern Babel.
Switzerland, with its mixture of
races hiliI tongue*, is a sort of modern
Babel, a fttet which causes uiucb irou
ble tu particular to the military a*t
ttaorities. At Walleiiatadt tlie othc
day at the recruiting station there was
a guard c imposed ?f five men. The
chief was a lieutenant who spoke tier
man only, the second a serpen tit v.h
spoke Italian only, the third a cor
poral who could speak Trench into
Spanish, the fourth a private who coitki
opeak French and German, anil tin
fifth a private who could speak Kreneh
and Italian. When the lieutenant had
to transmit an order to the sergeant
he hail to get the last uaiued man
to interpret for him. When he want
ed to connuuuicate with the corpora!
he had to requisition the fourth uua.
and so on. great delay ami confusion
being thus occasioned.? I.adiIoii News
Shelley as a Bey.
Here is a glimpse of Shelle* ottered
by Andrew I.ang: "It seems alam-t ir.
credible, but it is true. that I oner
knew a uitin who was at Eton with
Shelley, who lef; in 1SH?. This was
Mr. Hammond, a seuior fellow of Mer
ton college when I was an inquiring
junior. Abont INTO he told me all thai
I could extract from him about the
poet, 'Shelley was not a clever l>oy; he
never was aent up for good.' which
means. 1 conceive, that he never did
a remarkable exercise In I.atiu verse. !
Mr. Hantntwnd added that Shelley had
a habit when he was walking alone of
suddenly breaking into a sprint at a
hundred yards pace. That was all."
