After the In terview with his sttorney McGreevy de clined to make any further statement, say ing he had told the reporters already all he knew about the failure, and still main tains that the books of the bank will show that he has none of the money belonging to the depositors.

EIGHT DOCTORS And Many Repedlea Failed to do a Cent's Worth of Good. Abont five years ago I was troubled with acre hands, ao sore that w&eti I would pat them in water tbe pain would very nearly get me crazy, tbe lUa would peel off and the flesh would get hard and break. There would be blood flow ing from at least fifty places on each hand. Words could never tell tbe suf fering I endured for three yean. I tried everything that I waa told to use for fully three years, but could get no relief. I tried at least eight different doctors, but none of them teemed to do ne any good, as my hands were as bad when I got through doctoring as when I first began., I also tried many reme dies, bat none of them ever did me one , cent's worth of good. I was discour aged and heart-sore. I would feel so . bad mornings when I got np, to think I had to go to work and stand the pain ; for ten hours, and I often felt like glv- ' lng up my position. Before I started to work mornings I ' would have to . wrap every finger up separately, 'so as to try and keep them soft and then wear gloves over the rags to keep the grease from getting on my work. At night I would have to wear gloves In bed. In fact, I had to wear gloves all tbe time. But thanks to Cuticura, the greatest of all great skin cares. After doctoring for three years, and spending much money, a 60c. box of . Cuticura Ointment ended all my suffer ings. It's been two years since I used any and I don't know what sore bands are now, and never lost a day's work while using Cntlcura Ointment." THOMAS A, CLANCY, S10 N. Montgomery St., Trenton, N.
