FEARFUL BURNING SORE3.
Roy in Misery 12 Years—Eczema in
Rough Scales, Itching and In
* flamed—Cured by Cuticura,
“I wish to inform you that your
wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to
twelve years of misery 1 passed with
my son. As an infant I noticed on
his body a red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger I put him under the care
of doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it became. Dur
ing the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night it would
be cracked, inflamed, and badly swol
len, with terrible burning and itch
ing. When I think of his suffering,
it nearly breaks my heart. His
screams could be heard downstairs.
The suffering of my son made me
full of misery. I had no ambition to
work, to eat, nor could I sleep.
One doctor told me that my son’3
eczema was incurable, and gave it up
for a bad job. One evening I saw an
article in the paper about the wonder
ful Cuticura and decided to give it a
trial. I tell you that Cuticura Ointment
is worth its weight in gold, and when
I had used the first box of Ointment
there was a great improvement, and
by the time 1 had used the second set
of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent, my
child was cured. He is now twelve
years old, and his skin is as line
and smooth as silk. Michael Stein

POTENT LIQUOR IS SAKE.
Lafcadio Hearn’s Testimony as to
Strength of Japanese Wine.
There is no liquor in the world upon
which a man becomes so quickly in
toxicated as Japanese sake (rice
wine), and yet none of which the ef
fects last so short a time. The in
toxication is pleasant as the effect of
opium or hasheesh. It is soft, pleas
ant, luminous exhilaration, everything
becoming brighter, happier, lighter;
then you get very sleepy.
At Japanese dinners it is the rule to
become slightly exhilarated, but not to
(irir.k enough to talk thickly or walk
crooked. The ability to drink at ban
quets requires practice—long practice.
There are banquets of many kinds,
and the man who is invited to one at
which extensive drinking may be ex
pected is careful to start in upon an
empty or almost empty stomach. Tty
not eating one can drink a good deal.
The cups are very small and of many
curious shapes. One may be expected
to empty 50. A quart of sake is a good
deal; two quarts require iron nerves
to stand. But among the Japanese
there are wonderful drinkers. At a
military officer's banquet a captain
«ffered me a tumbler holding a good
pint of sake. I almost fainted at the
sight of It, for it was only the first.
But a friend said to me; “Only drink
a little and pass it back,” which I did.
Stronger heads emptied cup after cup
like water.—Letters of Lafcadio
Hearn.
MAY BE COFFEE
That Causes all the Trouble.
When the house is afire, it's like a
body when disease begins to show, it’s
no time to talk but time to act—delay
is dangerous—remove the cause of the
trouble at once.
“For a number of years,’’ says a
Kansas lady, "I felt sure that coffee
was hurting me, and yet, I was so fond
of it, I could not, give it up. I paltered
with my appetite and of course yield
ed to the temptation to drink more.
At last I got so bad that I made up my
mind I must either quit the use of cof
fee or die.
“Everything I ate distressed me, and
I suffered severely almost all the time
with palpitation of the heart. I fre
quently woke up in the night with the
feeling that I was almost gone.—my
heart seemed so smothered and weak
in its action that I feared It would stop
beating. My breath grew short and
the least exertion set me to panting. T
slept but little and suffered from rheu
matism.
“Two years ago I stopped using the
old kind of coffee and began to use
Postum Food Coffee, and from the
very first 1 began to improve. It
•worked a miracle! Now I can eat any
thing and digest it without trouble. I
sleep like a baby, and my heart beats
full, strong and easily. My breathing
has become steady and normal, and
my rheumatism has left me. I feel
like another person, and it is all due
to quitting coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee, for I haven't used any
medicine and none would have done
any good as long as I kept drugging
with coffee.” Name given by Postum

SAW WITH PROPHETIC EYE.
John Milton’s Vision of a Free Coun
try and a Free Press.
Methinks I see In my mind a noble
and puissant, nation rousing herself
like a strong man after sleep, and
shaking her invincible locks. Me
thinks I see her as an eagle muing
(moulting) her mighty youth, and
kindling her undazzled eyes at the
full midday beam, purging and un
sealing her long abused sight at the
fountain itself of heavenly radiance,
while the whole noise of timorous and
flocking birds, with those also that
love the twilight, flutter about,
amazed at what she means, and in
their envious gabble would prognosti
cate a year of sects and schisms.
What should ye do then, should
ye suppress all this flowery crop of
knowledge and new light, sprung up
and yet springing daily in this city,
should ye set an oligarchy of 20 en
grossers over it, to bring a famine
upon our minds again, when wo shall
know nothing hut what is measured
o us by their bushel? Believe it,
lords and commons, they who counsel
ye to such a suppressing do as good
as bid ye suppress yourselves; and
I will soon show ow. If it be de
sired to know the immediate cause of
all this free writing and free speak
ing, there cannot be assigned a truer
than your old mild and free and hu
man government; it is the liberty,
lords and commons, which your own
valorous and happy counsels have
purchased us, liberty which is the
nurse of all great wits; this is that
which rarefied and enlightened our
spirits like the influence of heaven;
this is that which hath enfranchised,
enlarged, and lifted up our apprehen
sions degrees above themselves. Ye
cannot make ns now less capable, less
strong, less eagerly pursuing of the
truth, unless ye first make yourselves,
that made us so. less the lovers, less
the founders of our true liberty!
We can grow ignorant again, brut
ish, formal and slavish, as ye found
us: hut you then must first become
that which ye cannot be, oppressive,
arbitrary and tyrannous, as they were
from whom ye have freed us. That
our hearts are now more capacious,
our thoughts more erected to the
search and expectation of greatest,
and exactest things, is the issue of
your own virtue propagated in us:
ye cannot suppress that unless ye re
inforce an abrogated and merciless
law, that fathers may dispatch at
will their own children. * * *

AS IT ACTUALLY WAS,
Herman Schmidt’s Simple Description
of Heroic Deed.
That the man who does great deeds
can never put his deeds into words is
Mr. Kipling's excuse for the profes
sional story' teller. Probably had Her
man Schmidt the gift of story telling
he would nol describe his most famous
adventure as he does. Herman, whc
was one of the heroes of the Franco
Prussian war, was asked by some Mis
souri admirers to tell them how he
won the Iron Cross.
“Veil," said Herman, slowly, “it vas
like dis. Hey vas all Prussian fellers
—ve vas all in der army, soldiers. De
French folks vas fighting us. und we
French folks vas lighting us. unde we
vas fighting dem.
“Den dere vas a battlefield—like it
vas a field in a farm, yes—all grass
and stuff—und ofer dere vas de French
folks, und ofer here vas us Prussian
fellers.
“Always, yet. I vas de bigges’ man
in der army, so riey make dat I should

vere de fighting is.
“So den. here vas our fellers, und
dere vas de French folks, und ve vas
shooting at dem und they vas shooting
us—only t vasn't make no shooting,
because I got dem flags und no guns.
“So I says, ‘Vat if some of our fel
lers vould go ofer dere vere de French

lers vas all shooting und dey vasn't

'Maybe 1 goes ofer dere myself, den.
“So I gets up and goes ofer dere

this comparison the French fast wom
an has much the advantage of the
American fast woman. They are both
essentially vulgar, judged from the
strictly social point of view. The men

force the note. They overeat, over
drink, overdress and overact their
parts. They are to people in really
civilized society what sensational
journalism is to high-class newspaper
work. They represent the “yellow"
in morals, dress, manners and Style oi
life. It is a mistake to treat them too
seriously. Irony, ridicule aud sar

THE WHITE PLAGUE
SYSTEMATIC WARFARE WAGED
TO WIPE OUT CONSUMPTION.
Warning That Intemperance Increases
the Liability to Contract Disease
—Neglected Colds a Prolific
Source.
Organized effort, is now being made
throughout the United Stated to fight
consumption. A warning is given
against intemperate habits, which in
crease the liability to consumption,
while spitting is public places is de
precated, as the disease is frequently
contracted from dried sputum.
Colds should not be neglected, as
they leave the lungs in a peculiarly
receptive condition for the tuburcu
lar germ. The following simple for
mula will break up a cold in twenty
four hours. A leading authority on
lung trouble says that when pre
pared from pure ingredients, it will
cure any cough that is curable.
Take half ounce Virgin Oil of Pine
(Pure); two ounces glycerine and
half pint good whisky. Shake well
and use in teaspoonful doses every
four hours.
The ingredients can be secured'
from any good prescription druggist
at small cost, and to avoid subsitution
should be purchased separately and
mixed in your own home.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put
up in half-ounce vials for dispensing.
Each vial is securely sealed in a
round wooden case, with engraved
wrapper, with the name—Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), prepared only by
Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, O.—
plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank imitations of Virgin Oil of
Pine (Pure), which are put out under
various names, such as Concentrated
Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam, etc. Never
accept these as a substitute for the
Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as they will
invariably produce nausea and never
effect the desired result.
_&_
Tannic Acid for the Skin.
One of the most annoying results of
eye strain is the baggy condition un- '
der the eyes, which is very disfiguring.
To restore the condition of the skin
tannic acid is generally effectual,
using 20 grains to an ounce -of glyce
rine. It is applied to the puffiness with
a soft camel’s hair brush night and
morning.
Caution.
Imitations have been placed upon
the market so closely resembling All
cock's Plasters in general appearance
as to be well calculated to deceive. It
is, however, in general appearance
only that they compare with Allcock's,
for they are not only lacking in the
best elements which have made All
cock's so efficient, but are often harm
ful in their effects. Remember that !
Allcock's are the original and only
genuine porous plasters—the best ex- ;
ternal remedy known—and when pur- i
chasing plasters the only safe way is ;
to always insist upon having Allcock’s. I

Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contests of

A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the
highest excellence in any field of human effort.
A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl
edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health
when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an
ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and
gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of
Known Quality, Known Excellence and Knov/n Component J
Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the
world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first /

This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known
under the name of—Syrup of Figs — and has attained to world
wide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative. As its pure
laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have
adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna — as more fully descriptive of the remedy,
but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter
