ECZEMA
Psoriasis, Scailed Head, Milk Crust,
^ Tetter, Ringworm, etc,
Sjieedilj, Permanently and Economically Cored,
when til Els, Fails, by
The agonizing, itching, and burning of the skin, as in
eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of
hair, and crusting of the scalp, as in scallcd head; the
facial disfigurements, as in pimples and ringworm; the
awful suffering of infants, and anxiety of worn-out parents,
as in milk crust, tetter and salt rheum, — all demand a
remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope
with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent
are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is
made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest
evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford
immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great economy have made
them the standard skin cures, blood purifiers and humour
remedies of the civilized world.
Complete External and Internal Treatment
Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse
the surface of crusts and scales, and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry,
without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Ointment freely, to allay itching,
irritation, and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, take Cuti
cura Resolvent to cool and cleanse the blood. This complete treatment
affords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the severest forms of
eczema and other itching, burning, and scaly humours of the skin, scalp
and blood, and points to a speedy, permanent and economical cure when
all other remedies and the best physicians fail. ^As evidence of the
wonderful curative properties of Cuticura Remedies and of their world
wide sale, we quote from
fte Hon. ir. Mice Fiiemore s Letier.
“ I desire to give my voluntary testimony to the beneficial effects of
your Cuticura Remedies. I have suffered for some time from an excess
of uric acid in the blood; and since the middle of last year, from a severe
attack of Eczema, chiefly on the scalp, face, ears and neck, and on one
limb. I was for several months under professional treatment, but the
remedies prescribed were of no avail, and I was gradually becoming worse,
my face was dreadfully disfigured, and I lost nearly all my hair. At last,
my wife prevailed upon me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and I gave them
a thorough trial with the most satisfactory results. The disease soon began
to dissappear, and my hair commenced to grow again. A fresh growth of
hair is covering my head, and my limb (although not yet quite cured) is
gradually improving. My wife thinks so highly of your remedies that she
has been purchasing them in order to make presents to other persons
suffering from similar complaints, and, as President of the Bible Women’s
Society, has told the Bible women to report if any case should come under
her notice when a poor person is so afflicted, so that your remedies may
_ . be resorted to.” ROBERT ISAAC FINNEMORE,
(Judge of the Natal Supremo Court.)

Liights and Shadoous of j ]
an Egyptian Desert j
Wonderful Changes Pass Over It with Bach Pass
ing Moment—A Striking Contrast.
~~r_
I1AUTIFUL, not only on ac
count of its absolute still
ness, is the vastness of the
desert, so vast that its
enormity is beyond the
range of human eyesight
but also on account of the wonderfu
changes of light visible on it. Seldom a
living soul to disturb the tranquillity
of the surrounding waste, only' the
fcong of an occasional bird becomes
hudible as one approaches a small plot
Of arable land.
Out on the desert, in the far distance,
a solitary camel, silhouetted clearly
against the sky, becomes visible, bear
ing its rider or laden with merchan
dise; closer and closer it comes; the
sound of its discontented grunt is
heard as it approaches, only to die
down again as its ungainly tread and
uncouth form become more indistinct
will be approached, a village of which
the houses are built of Js'ile mud, each
house accommodating a family of no
matter what size, the inhabitants of
each village almost all related to each
other, comprising sometimes several
hundreds of people. Their streets are
littered with filth, animals of every
kind obstruct one’s path, dogs growl
and snarl at the appearance and in
trusion of a stranger, women rush
about, hiding their faces in tlieir yash
maks lest a white man should, behold
their faces. Flies in swarms settle on
the children, and lay their eggs on their
eyelids, unwashed, because they be
lieve it to be contrary to their religion
to wash or remove the flies from their
eyes. To come suddenly on a scene
like this, a scene on which the sun can
seldom shine owing to t-':ie closeness of
the huts, a scene with which the poox^

after it has passed; and then, the same
calm, no rustling of trees, no human
voice to disturb the working of man’s
imagination, nothing but. a vast area
of sand with an occasional pool of
water and a score or more of palm
trees. Above, a sky of a blue so vivid
that an artist’s brush can hardly dare
to depict the color; at times, during the
later months of winter, eloddsmay ob
literate the sun, casting dark shadows
on the sand, at one moment the color of
gold, at another almost red. So varied
are the colors one has barely time to
realize the particular tint of gold or
red before a cloud may come or a haze
form a veil over the sun, and the scene
is changed; a cold, dismal feeling
creeps over one, a feeling of absolute
loneliness, an indescribable solitude;
one shivers inwardly—not with fear—
but with the overpowering sense of des
olation. A few moments only may
elapse. moments that seem during that
brief interval of passing darkness like
an eternity, and. the sun will cast his
golden rays on the- scene again, light
ing up the sand, which appears even
more brilliant in its color, now, after
the interval of darkness.
Each hour, each moment even, of
the day, the effects produced are va
ried, be they a. change in the atmos
phere or a change produced by the
sinking or rising of the sun. It is al
est hovel in the east end of London can
hardly compete for filth and squalor,
after the beauties and stillness of the
desert, is crushing; it disturbs one’s
peace, the impressions one has formed
—the change is too sudden. And yet
even a scene such as this has its charms
—no discontent, no brawling or fight
ing such as one meets within Europe
amongst people of the same class; no
drunkenness, again, perhaps not from
choice, but because they have never
tasted that form of degradation, and
because their religion forbids it.
The further south one goes the more
brilliant the sun, the more golden the
sand, seldom a haze or cloud to relieve
the scene. The only thing to break the
stillness of the air is an occasional
khamseen, a whirlwind of sand, no art
ist dare paint it and do credit to it. the
wind so fierce that no one can stand up
to it. clouds of sand-so dense that it ob
literates everything. The houses
swarm with flies, which have become
stunned by the fierceness of the gale,
making life almost unbearable with
their incessant torment, the wind is so
hot and stifling, blowing from across
the Sahara, and lasting, sometimes,
two or three days, that breathing al
most becomes difficult, until at last the
welcome calm again appears, a relief,
bringing with it the cooler air and
bright sunshine. All who have seen a

most impossible to imagine that these
changes of effects can be so frequent
in a part of the woi'ld where there are
no houses to cast deep shadows on the
ground, no avenues of trees'to vary the
monotony of an ever brilliant sun. Still
the changes are there, and so frequent
that one never experiences a feeling of
unvaried sameness. One walks on, be
it north, south, east or west, the same
expanse of sand presents itself, appar
ently, too, the same palm trees and si
lent pool of water, and one is forced to
ask one’s self whether, in this whole
world of desolation, no soul exists, no
human body breathes—when, in the
distance, an Arab is seen, his feet shoe
less, his head devoid of turban or fez,
bending to a pool of water, washing.
Soon he rises, having performed his
ablutions, to turn to the east, and
there, alone on the desert, now kneel
ing, now standing, ever intent on his
duties towards his prophet, he prays to
his God. Can anything be more impres
sive than such a scene? No temple or
church, not even a Mohammedan
mosque, in which to offer his soul to his
God, his prayers to Heaven. There
alone, amidst a solitude almost incon
ceivable, he performs his acts of wor
ship.
Walk on, and sooner or later a village
storm at sea, have realized its grand
ness and the solemnity of its ever fol
lowing calm, may be able to picture to
themselves the terrors of a kbamseen,
sweeping over the desert, and its ac
companying stillness when the gale
has passed. G. H. RITTNKR.
Rocky Mountain Pie.
“I thoroughly enjoyed everything in
the Sportsmen’s show last week,” said
a clerk in the New York postoftice,
“because it was new to me. I was
born in a New England town, and
knew little about such things. But
my wife came almost from the base
of Pike’s Peak, and asked me to takt
her, so I did. As we were coming out
I saw a sign outside the restaurant,
‘Rocky mountain pie.’ In my opinion,
you cannot tell a New Englander much
he doesn’t know about pie, so I went
in and asked for some. My wife said
she did not know what was coming
either. Well, sir, It was a revelation.
There was a thick, rich bottom crust,
with quarters of apples stickling up
endwise all over it, and the little val
leys in between them filled chock
a-block with delicious cream. It looked
like snow between mountain ridge*
My wife and I ate a whole pie be
tween us.”—N. Y. Times.

Birilllnnt Sne^rstlon for the Inproie*
uient of Ih” Game
of Kootlin.il. *' ,
The supporters of football arc assem
bled in convention, says the Baltimore
American.
( “Gentlemen,” saya the spokesman,
“something must be done to add inter
est to the game. I regret to acknowledge
that in recent years, despite our efforts
to wound maim and kill, the sport has
dwindled in public favor. No doubt this
is because of the increase in the number
of wars, and the familiarity of the public
with injuries from that cause; also be
cause of the growth of the automobile
fad. lienee, as I say, we must do some
thing to put more ginger in the game.
The point is, what shall we do?”
Here a shaggy haired man arose in the
rear of the hall and begged for a hear
ing.
“Gentlemen,” he said, “I represent the
Russo-American society of anarchy, and
am also an enthusiastic football player.
It occurs to me that if the ball were
filled with dynamite instead of air it
would—”
But the rest of his remarks were sim
ply drowned in a furious explosion of
mad applause.

Lancaster, N. Y., Mar. 30th.—Postmaster
Itemers is still in receipt of many letters
asking if his cure has held good.
it will be remembered that some time
ago the particulars of Mr. Reiners’ case
were published in these columns. He had
been very low with Diabetes. Physicians
could do nothing to save him and1 he grew
worse and worse till some one recommended
Dodd’s Kidney Pills. A treatment of this
'emedy was begun and when eight boxes
had been taken Mr. Itemers began to see an
improvement which continued as the treat
ment proceeded till he was completely re
stored'.
He has since enjoyed perfect health and.
is as robust and able a man as any in Lancas
ter. Interviewed the other day lie said:
“Many people wrote to me when the story
of my case was first printed and some write
to me yet asking if the cure was only tem
porary and if the diabetes has returned. 1
have only one answer to everybody. Three
years ago I was very low with Diabetes. The
best physicians failed to help me and Dodd’s
Kidney Pills cured me. 1 am well and strong
and have not had the slightest return of the
old trouble.”_

The Best Way to 'Peach History.
The idea of object teaching, the founda
tion of the Froebel system of instruction,
has in recent years met with general accept
ance and adoption in almost every branch of
education, high and low, with resultant ben
efits which are beyond question. Even such
subjects as giammer and arithmetic are
now taught in this way so far as practicable,
and with, marked advantage over the old
dry and abstract method. The practice of
teaching history by making pilgrimages to
tiie very scenes where great historical events
have occurred is an application of the same
principle and much more valuable' in the
way of impressing the reality of history upon
the minds of the young than any amount of
mere textrbook instruction could be. A re
cent issue of the “Four-Track Series,” pub
lished by the New York Central manage
ment, gives a description of the historical
sites in the immediate vicinity of New York,
which will be of exceeding value for the
guidance of teachers and others who desire
to adopt this method of historical study.
One of the best ways to develop civic pride
and promote good citizenship lies in thi
very dlirection, an increase of knowledge of
local history being accompanied with an in
crease of interest in matters of local govern
ment and a higher concern for what affects
the welfare and good name of the commu
nity.—From Leslie’s Weekly.
“Did you give that woman two good eggs
for her five cents?” asked the cornrr grocer
of the new boy. “I did. Hr." “You’re dis
charged. You should have sold her two
bum eggs, so that she’d come back to kick
and' give me a chance to sell her a porter
house steak.”—Baltimore News.

Mrs. Laura L. Barnes, Wash

“In diseases that come to women only,
as a rule, the doctor is called in, some
times several doctors, but still matters
go from bad to worst*; _Jjufc I have
never known of a case 'of female weak
ness which was not helped when
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound was used faithfully. For
young women who are subject to
headaches, backache, irregular or pain
ful periods, and nervous attacks due to
the severe strain on the system by
some organic trouble, and for women
of advanced years in the most trying
time of life, it serves to correct every
trouble and restore a healthy action of
all organs of the body.
“ Lydia E.Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound is a household reliance
in my home, and I would not be with
out it. In all my experience with this
medicine, which covers years, I have
found nothing to equal it and al
ways recommend it.” — Mrs. Laura L.
Barnes, 607 Second St., N. E., Wash
ington, D. C. — $5000 forfeit If original of
above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced.
Such testimony should be ac
cepted by all women as convinc
ing evidence that Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
stands without a peer as a rem
edy for all the distressing ills of
women.
