RAW AS BEEF FROM ECZEMA! Iln Tnrflirn Cmial tn thn Not much attention is often paid to the HU lUIIUIU LljUul IU lllu first symptoms of Eczema, but it is not long before the little redness, begins to itch ana Itnhinrr and Qiirnintr nf burn This iB but the beginning, and will llulllllg fIIIU Dullllllg 111 lead to suffering and torture almost unendurable. It is a common mistake to regard Thio Poarflll nicoaca a roughness and redness of the skin as I lllu luuliUl Uluuudui merely a local irritation ;it is but an indication of a humor in the blood—of terrible Eczema —which is more than skin-deep, and can not be reached by local applications of ointments, salves, etc., applied to the surface. The disease itself, the real cause of the trouble, is in the blood, although all suffering is produced - through the skin; the only way to reach the disease, therefore, is through

the blood. Mr. Phil T. Jones, of Mixersville, Ind., writes: “I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave me constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore, and began to spread and grow worse. For the past five or six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up all hope of ever being free from the disease, as I have been treated by some of the best physicians nnd have taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little faith left I began to take S. S. S., and it apparently made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was the way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing S. S. S., the sore healed up entirely, the skin became clear and smooth, and I was cured perfectly .”

Clear anu biuuuui, uuu x v. us uurcu penevuj. / Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy why only a tonic. Swift’s Specific— / S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD / > —is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which/ fy, not reach. It goes to the bottom —to the cause of the disease —and / the worst case of Eczema, no matter what other treatment has fa' the only blood remedy guaranteed to be free from potash, mer/ vCj, / other mineral, and never fails to cure Eczema, Scrofula, ContZ ■‘V, ' Poison, Cancer, Tetter, Rheumatism, Open Sores, Ulcers, Boils, e upon S. S. S.; nothing can take its place. c . Books on these diseases will be mailed free to any address by Swift"\, t . eifle Company, Atlanta, Georgia.

Rheumatism Cured in a Day. “Mystic Cure” for rheumatism and neuralgia radically cures in 1 to 3 days. Its action upon the system is remarkable and mysterious. It removes at once the cause and the disease immediately disappears. The first dose greatly benefits. 75 cents. Sold by Smith & Yager, Druggists, Decatur.

So many peculiar things happen in Ohio that it is hard to believe them all. The other day a story was published to the effect that nine snakes were taken from a woman who had swallowed one some years ago. This story comes from the town of Bucyrus. An unpleasant experience was that of a young woman of that town. She was preparing to devour a tempting I appje dumpling when, in cutting it open, a live mouse jumped out and scampered away. How the mouse got into the dumpling is a problem. Notice to Wheelmen.
