This has been a very wet spring for the farmers to get into their fields, and especially so in the north part of the county where the ground has been thoroughly soaked all spring.

When it is completed the dredge will then be going down the hill to the river for the next four miles. —Monticello Journal.

SKIN ON FIRE—AGONY UNBEARABLE.

Terrible Itching Burning Skin Disease Now Quickly Cured. A purely vegetable external remedy that has been proved beyond all possible doubt to cure the wprst cases of Eczema and all skin diseases can now be procured by all skin sufferers. This remarkable remedy is D. D. D. Prescription, the discovery of Dr. Decatur D. Dennis, the well-known skin specialist, and is being manufactured by the D. D. D. Co., 112 Michigan St., Chicago, 111. The demand for this remedy has become tremendous within a short time because people are just learning that the hundreds of cures it has made seem to be permanent. Eczema and all diseases of the skin must be treated locally, according to the views now held by foremost skin specialists and physicians; that is, you must doctor the itch where the itch is. It is useless to attempt to cure skin disease by taking drugs and medicines into the stomach. The disease is not in the blood. It is in the skin and only skin deep. You must get at the seat of the disease and kill the germ by making direct applications to the skin. Mrs. L. B. Powell, Box 414, Caruthersville, Mo., writes: “Words cannot convey my full appreciation of D. D. D. The face of my boy was a solid scab, when I accidentally heard of D. D. D. I secured a bottle at once and began to apply it. Jt was miraculous in its cure. It healed my baby’s face completely. If anyone wants further information about this 1 shall be only too glad to hear from them.” Testimonials of hundreds of cases of remarkable cures by D. D. D. Prescription and an interesting booklet on skin disease and Its treatment, exercise, diet, bathing, etc., may be had free by calling on B. F. Fendig, Rensselaer, Ind., where D. D. D. Prescription and D. D. D. Soap will be found on sale.
