Wlien nil infnnt my body broke out all over with au eruption or rash, wliie.h became moro aggravated as I grew older. Every noted physician in our soction was tried or consulted. When I came of ago I visited Hot Springs, Ark., and was treated by the best medical men, but waH not benefited. When all things had failed I determined to try S. S. S., and in four months was entirely cured. Tho terrible Eczema was all
gone,
not a sign left my general oalth built up, and I havo never had any roturn of the disease.

oculists and opticians of this coun
ty, to be at my place of business
for the purpose of examining all
cases of defective vision. The

tinuous practice in the treatment
of the eye and any person hav
ing defective vision should not
fail to call and see the doctor while
here. Such an opportunity has
never before been offered to the people of Crawfordsville and vicinity, and I trust they will take advantage of it. Oflice houis from S a. m. to 4 p. m. Consultation free.

NOTES.
Judge Davidson states that the trial cannot possibly end for five or six weeks yet, aud Ethan Meharry pf.rs it will last until Christmas. The 'witnesses who reside in the State tet no fees for their attendance upon oourt and a number ot them aro complaining loudly at beiug kopt from their homes and business. l'he attorneys frequently become oonfused in the use of oft recurring names and the oourt has addressed Haywood as Mr. Whitehead Haywood, Mrs. Jesse Hawthorn as Mrs. Pettit Kumler, Mrs. Kate Bradley as Mrs. Haywood, and all the hands have made other blunders just as amusing. Dook Cox and Ab Jones noarly broke their nooks getting out to tho Vandalia this morning to capture witness Mrs. H. H. Dunlavy whom they heard was leaving town. Mr. Cox captured Judge Hurley's sister-in-law, Mrs. Carroll, but discovered his mistake before i1 niwiu tho handcuffs. Tho lady sought wus not at tho station and the State had been inisinfoirued.
