ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA "I, the undersigned, cannot give enough rirnlso to tho Cutlcura Rem edies. I had been, doctoring for at least a year for eczema on ray foot. I had tried doctor after doctor all to no avail. Whsn a young girl I sprained my nnklo three different times, paying llttlo or no attention to it, when five years ago a small spot showed upon my left ankle. I wna worried and sent for a doctor. He said It was eczema. Ho drew a small bono from tho ankle about tho slzo of a match and about an Inch long. Tho small hole grew to about the slzo 6t an apple, nnd tho fczema spread to tho knee. Tho doc tors never could heal tho hole in tho ankle. Tho wholo foot ran water all tho time. "My husband and my sons wero up night and day wheeling mo from ono room to another In tho hope of giving mo some relief. I would sit for hours at a tlmo in front of tho flreplaco hoping for daybreak. Tho pain was no intense I was almost crazy, in fact, I would loso my reason for hours at a time. Ono day a friend of mlno dropped in to seo me. No moro had buo glanced at my foot than sho ex claimed: 'Mrs. Flnnegan, why in tho world don't you try tho Cutlcura Rem edies!' Being disgusted with the doc tors and their medicines, nnd not be ing able to sleep at all, I decided to givo the Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment a trial. After using them three days that night I slept as sound aa a silver dollar for eight long hours. awoke in tho morning with but very llttlo pain, in fact, I thought I was In heaven. After using tho Cutlcura Remedies for threo months I was per fectly restored to health, thanka to tho Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. I will bo sixty-four years of ngo my next birthday, halo and hearty at pres ent." (Signed) Mrs. Julia Flnnegan, E234 Hebert St., St. Louis, Mo., Mar. r, 1911.

GIVEN A NEW BRAIN Delicate Organ Is Grafted Into Man's Skull. Dr. Harry Cushlng, Noted Specialist, Performs Marvelous Operation Suc cessfully at Baltimore Hospital Patient Is Recovering. Baltimore, Md. An operation that In the history of science has never had a parallel, either In delicacy or In skill, was performed the other day for the second time in the Johns Ho ,klns hospital by Dr. Harvey Cushlng, tho world-renowned brain specialist, nnd the patient, as a result, Is on the road to recovery. It is believed the operation, which until a month ago ,was thought impossible by the best authorities on brain disorders, will prove a success. The patient, William Buckner of Cincinnati, came to Baltimore Novem ber 23, suffering with a peculiar af fection of the brain. For weeks bo fore his arrival ho had been In a state of semi-coma, except at Intervals. He was placed under the care of Dr. dishing. Ills case was a puzzling ono, and after a number of X-ray examina tions, during which photographs of tho brain were taken, Dr. dishing discov ered that a portion of the brain had decayed and frayed tissues were caus ing the healthy section gradually to be come affected. Dr. Cushlng's conception was this: To procure the brain ot another pa tient as soon after death aB possible andto transplant a portion of it Into tho skull of Buckner. The brain had to be healthy and from as young a person as possible. The transplanta tion of the dead brain and the procur ing of it were two widely different things, however, nnd this was the dif ficulty confronting the physician, when ono of his colleagues casually mentioned that a child had been born dead in one of tho wards. Here was the opportunity. Dr. Cush lng hurried to the ward and extract ed the brain from tho dead child be fore the body was cold. Meanwhile Buckner had been prepared for tho or deal. Then in view of about a score of professorr. and students, Dr. dishing performed his greatest operation. He chiseled away the back of Buck ner' s skull and with great care re moved the entire brain, which was laid on a piece of linen besido tho head, and could clearly bo seen to quiver as each pulsation of the patient's heart was noted. The diseased portion waB then severed from tho minor brain and while Dr. Cushlng was severing tho HAS HARD FIGHT WITH EAGLE Bird Attacks Lumberman Who Killed Its Companion Near North Creek Camp, N. Y. Glens Falls, N. Y. Milton Stelves of this city was nearly killed in a light with a bald eagle near North Creek lumber camp. Ho was rescued badly wounded by a fellow lumber man and is under the care of physl clnns. Stolves camo upon two eagles dovourlng tho carcass of a calf nnd shot ono of the birds. Before ho could reload his gun the other oaglo attacked him. He struck nt tho bird repeatedly with his rifle butt, but tho eagle, al though ono of its wings was broken, was getting the better of tho battle when a hunter killed the foathered lighter with a club. Tho bird weighed soventy-llvo ' pounds and measured nine feet from tip to tip. Stricken Dumb by News of Fortune. Portagoburg. Out. When John Dancy heard that ho had inherited f2.500.000 from an undo who died re cently In Chicago, and from whom he had not heard for 15 years, ho was so overcomo that ho lost his power of speech for an hour. Ho had been en gaged as a riveter on a dry dock, and quit his Job Immediately on hearing tho glad news. Professors Are Honored, Philadelphia. Tho American Asso ciation of PathologlstB and Bacteriolo gists elected Prof. Herbert U. Will iams of tho University of Buffalo as president and Prof. E. II. LeCount of tho University of Chicago as a councilor. diseased section another surgeon was transplanting the Infant's brain. The major brain was left untouched. After tho transplantation tho member was restored to Its former position and the suction of tho skull which had been cut out also was replaced. Buckner stood tho operation ex ceedingly well, and It was later thought that ho was well enough to leave the Insttlution. With his wlfo at his side ho was removed to tho homo of relatives In Charlottesville. Va but a fow days ago his condition became grave and ho was sent back to tho hos pital. Dr. Cushlng again performed an operation on the brain and replanted the tissues of tho newly Inserted mem ber. Buckner was said to have been considerably improved. SUM ECLIPSE WIRELESS TEST One to Be Tried in Paris to Find Out Something About Violet Rays. New York. A eerie" of notable ex periments In wireless telegraphy Is to be tried in Paris April 23 during an eclipse of the sun, which will obscure four-fitths of its rays. It has been noticed by sclentlsir. that the distanco over which whclc&s messages can be dispatched varies greatly, according to the time of day and the direction. A message sent by rapid vibrations which will not carry more than 700 miles during the day, enn bo hent two or three times that distance at sun set, especially toward the bouth. When slower vibrations were used It enn be transmitted further during the day. It Is believed that these curious facts are due to the activity of the so called ultraviolet rays of the sun, the theory being that these rays arc a powerful factor In the energy of the hertzinn waves. Tho eclipse, when a great part of these rayu will bo sud denly cut off, will bo an Ideal occa blon for decisive tests, and the wire less station on the Eiffel tower will send messages continuously from a little Lefore the eclipse until a little after it In several directions. Cigarettes, 50 a Day, Kill. Braddock. Pa. Ernest Ferrin, a bar ber, died at Donorn from the effects, physicians say. of smoking too many cigarettes. Ten years ago Ferrin be gan and smoked 50 a day, or 182,500 cigarettes In the ten years. Just be fore he breathed his last today ho asked for a cigarette. One was given to him, and as he throw away the 'butt" ho sank back on his pillow and died. SPEAKS, BUT Journey From Russia to "Promised Land" Proves Too Much for Mrs. Lipsitz. Chicago. Mrs, Schulc Llpbltz never heard her daughter call her "mamma." Months ago the mother and her children, ono of whom wns a mute, left Russia for the promised land America. There was some trouble at tho dock. Marlcse couldn't spenk and therefore was bnrred from the states. Marlese regained her speech, veri fying the wonderful stories that are told in Russia about tho golden land of promise, and tho Llpsltz family came to Chicago. MrB. Llpsltz lived to enjoy tho prom ised land only a week. Mortnlly 111, sho called to her dnughter Marlese, "Speak to me," sho said. Her hearing had become affected. Marlese spoko, Mrs. Llpsltz leaned forward to listen, but tho power that had restored speech to tho dumb girl took nwny the mother, and tho aged Immigrant fell back dead. Mrs. Lipsitz died at tho home of her son-in-law, Philip Singer, 720 Ashland boulevard. The Singer family said her death was due to tho excitement at tendant on her passage through Kills Island. Tho doctor declared her death was duo to weakness from age- she was 70. But Marlese bolfoved differ ently. Her opinion wns colored by tho poetry and supeibtltlon of her race. "God gavo mo my speech God took from mo my mother," she said. "Now I am able to mourn aloud her whom I loved silently. But it Is bet ter to love tu dumbness than to MAHDISM SLAYERS' CURSE STILL WORKS Many Who Had Anything to Do With Arrest of Phlladelphlan Have Met Violent Death. Philadelphia. Tho prediction made nearly soventeen years ago by H. II. Holmes, tho arch murderer, that any body having anything to do with hlB arrest, conviction or execution would meet an untimely death, either by their own hands or otherwise, Is once again recalled. This tlmo tho victim 1b Richard Johnson, forty-right years old, who committed suicide by Inhaling gas. Johnson wns a member of tho Jury which found Holmes guilty of murder In the first degree. Since the execution of Holmes, on May 7, 180(5, many persons who had connection with the famous case have either taken their lives or met deaths of violence, their fates recalling tho curse of Holmes, better known iib the "Murderer with tho evil eye." Tho fatal sclzuro of Judge Michael Arnold, who presided over tho trial, the deaths by vlolenco of Jurymen, wit nesses and others, the loss of llfo or position by officials, tho property Iosb of thoso who were In business, have from tlmo to time appeared as ovl denco that tho malediction of the criminal of tho century wns not Idly spoken. Holmes' victims wero never counted, lie confessed to slaying 17 persons. Johnson, tho latest victim to fall under tho so-called "spell" of Holmes, suicided because of despondency. Ono of tho llrst to meet death fol lowing Holmes' prediction, wns Lin ford L. Biles, tho foremnn ot tho Jury, who wns killed by coming In contact with an electric wire. Later, Howard Perkins, superintendent of Moysan nlng prison, shot and killed himself. Robert Motherwell, a former superin tendent of tho prison, also at tho coun ty Jail when Holmes waB there, dropped dead. William Shoemaker. Holmes' counsel, wns barred from practice for two years.

Mrs. Llpsltz, before her death, said she was happy that she was to dlo In America. Persecution In Russia had embittered her life there. When sho left home, it wns In tho hopo she would find freedom. Tho complica tions that arose nt Ellis Island grieved her, but when Marleso regained her voice sho felt compensated. When she died tho dnughter, who had been dumb since a llttlo girl, was at her bedside and called to her continually. Mrs. Llpsltz could not henr, but Bhe appealed to understand nnd smiled.

Women nro beginning to rcallno moro fully that good health Is not to bo found lit the uso of cosmetics nnd fnco powders. Tho appearnnco of health may follow facial trcntnient, but health Itself lies much deeper thnn tho surface. Most Important to tho health of ev ery woman is regularity of tho bowels nnd digestive organs. Tho weary eyes, bad breath, frequent hoadnches, pimples nnd general air of lassitude, Is in most every enso duo to consti pation or Indigestion, or both. There nro various remedies prescribed for this condition, but tho enslcst, most pleasant nnd certainly offectlve, Is a combination ot simple laxntlvo herbs with pepsin known to drugglsto ns Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This Blmplo remedy 1b far preferable to harsh sails and cathartics and violent purgatlvo waters that disturb tho wholo syHtcin without affording moro thnn temporary relief. Dr. Caldwell's Srup Pepsin is n tonic laxative, mild in Us notion, pleasant to tho tnsto and positive in its effect, strengthening tho muscles of stomach and bowels bo thai after a short tlmo these organn rcgoln tho power to perforin their natural func tions without assistance.
