Any breaking out or {rritation on the face, arms, legs and body when | accompanted by itching, or when the | =kin is dry and feverish, can be readi- ly overcome by applying a little bold- sulphur says a noted dematologist. He Informs us that bold-sulphur in- stantly allays the angry itching and irritation and soothes and heals the Eczema right up leaving the skin clear and ‘smooth. Bold-sulphur has oc- cupied a secure position for many years in the treatment of cutaneous disorders because of its parasite-des- troying property. Nothing has ever been found to take its place in treat- ing the firritable and inflammatory skin affections. While not always eg- tablishing a permanent cure it never fails to subdue the itching irritation and drive the Eczema away and it is often years later before any eruption again appears. Those troubled should obtain from any druggist an ounce of bold-sulphur which is applied to the affected parts in the same manner as an ordinary cold cream. It isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief afforded, particu- larly in itching KEczema, proves very welcome on January 18, regarding the new con- tract, which it has been proposed the town should make with the water company, the Herald has received the following communication: “Plainville, Conn, Jan. 4, To the Editor of the Herald. “I am sending you an extract from a letter written by one of the promo- ters of the Plainville Water company 30 years ago. The commuters in Plainville will no doubt recall what has transpired since that day to see how well their plans have been car- ried out. What has been done to im- prove the water and how much the Water company today Is interested in buildihg up the town and how much in speculation. 1In other towns they have found it necessary to do away with dead ends, and flush out the pipes often, but with all the dead ends and hollows in Plainville we must not expect much better than storm sur- face water and with the present price of water it won't do to waste }n hy flushiness, “Think of it, fifty dollars a year each for watering troughs, In other towns twenty-five dollars is considered a big price, and other rates and rules | are much more reasonable and satis- | factory to the patrons. ¥ “For the past five years there has been much dlssatisfaction with the management, some of the stockhold- ers believing that it cost too much to hoss the Plainville Water company’s | business. “Copy from a letter written by one | of the promoters of the Plainvilie Wa- | ter company dated April 9, 1884, “l note your remarks in regard to business.
