AN TTCHING SKIN AND END ECZEMA Says this old-time Eczema rem- edy is applied like cold cream. Any irritation or breaking out on the face/narms, legs or body when accom- panied by itching, or when the skin is dry and feverish, can be readily over- says a noted dermatologist. He states that bold-sulphur instantly allays the angry itching and irritation and. soothes and heals the Eczema right up leaving the skin clear and smooth.

While not al- ways establishing a permanent cure it never fails to subdue the itching irri- tation and drive the Eczema away and it is often years later before any erup- tion again appears on the skin. Those troubled should obtain at any drug store an ounce of bold-sulphur, which is applied to the affected parts in the same mauner 28 an ordinary eold eream. | the head of his firm in Union Defenders’ Day speeches will follow the regular meet- ing of L. 8. observance and ganizations of the city vited. local vance of about fifty per cent. in the price of manganese, jump followed Germany’s declaration of a blockade against England, which it is feared may interrupt the ship- country to the United States. makers a few days ago was sold at Prior to this manganese could be pur- chased in Baltimore at $68 a ton.
