CHAPTER IL
Agricola no doubt made the Roman
yoke easier upon the necks of the con
quered people and suggested the rotation
of crops. He also invaded Caledonia and
captured quite a number of Scotchmen,
whom ho took home and domesticated.
Afterward, in 121 A. D., the Emper
or Hadrian was compelled to build a
wall to keep cut the still Tuiconqnered
Caledonians. This is called the "Picts'
wall," and a portion of it still exists.
Later, in. 208 A. D., Severus built a
solid wall of stone along this line, and
for 70 years there was peace between
the two nations.
Toward the end of the third century
Carausius, who was appointed to tho
thankless task cf destroying the Saxon
pirates, shook off his allegiance to tho
.Emperor Diccletian, joined the pirates
and turned cut Diocletian, Tisurping tho

some even had their linen returned

In 446 A. D. the Britons were ex
tremely unhappy. "The barbarians
throw us into tho sea, and the sea re
turns us to the barbarians," they ejacu
lated in their petition to the conquering
Romans. But the latter were too busy
fighting tho Huns to send troops, and
in desperation the Britons formed, an

The Saxons were at that time a coarse

interfere with their methods of taking

The Tribune answers only

fiery irritation almost uubearable. It is
a mistake to think that thi local irrita
tion is the disease itself it is simply an
evidence of a disordered condition of the
blood. The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and this is why the various salves
and ointments usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origiu of the trouble: onlv a
blood remedy can do that. S. S S. is
without an equal for blood diseases, and
