"Words cannot describe the terrible eczema I suffered with. It broke out on my head and kept spreading until it covered my wholo body. I was almost a solid mass of sores from Head to loot. I looked more like a piece of raw beef than a human be lng. The pain and agony endured seemed more than I could bear. Wood and pus oozed from the great sore on my scalp, from under my finger nails and nearly all over my body. My ears were so crusted and swollen 1 was afraid they would break off Every hair in my head fell out. 1 could not sit down, for my clothes would stick to the raw and bleeding flesh, making mo cry out from tho pain. My family doctor did all ho could, but I got worse and worse. My condition was awful. I did not think I could live, and wanted death to come and end my frightful sufferings "In this condition my motherln-law hedged me to try the Cuticura Rem edies. I said I would, but had no hope or recovery, uut oh, what blessed re lief I experienced after applying Cuti cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding . and itching flesh and brought me tho '.first real sleep I had had in weeks. It was as grateful as ice to a burning tongue. I would batho with warm water and Cuticura Soap, then apply the Ointment freely. I also. took Cuti cura Resolvent for the blood. In a Bhort time the sores stopped running, the flesh began to heal, and I knew I was to get well again. Then the hair on my head began to grow, and in a short time I was completely cured. 1 wish I could tell everybody who has eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. Wm. Hunt, 135 Thomas St., Newark, N.

"If the cash in tho hands of the re. reiver, available ror such purposes, be insufficient to pay the claims' of depositors, the court in which the re celvershlp is pending or a judge there, of, shall determine the amount to sup. ply tho tleticlency and cause the same to bo certified to the state hanking board, which shall thereupon draw against tho depositors' guarantee fund in the amount required to supply such deficiency, and shall forthwith trans mit tho same to the receiver, to be applied on the said claims of the de posltors." j The banking hoard shall consist of tho governor, attorney general and auditor, the governor being given full power to make all appointments, which shall include: Secretary of the banking board, at $3,000 a year; clerk at $l,5on a year; unlimited number of examiners, at $1,800 a year; to be paid out of tho general fund of the state. ine mil speciiios that the reserve fund shall be 20 per cent of the de'ios- its, of which three-tenths shall be lit rash In the vaults, and in towns ex reeding iij.uoo population the reserve shall bo 25 per cent, of which three- tenths shall be In rash In the vaults.

However, as a three-fifths majority is necessary for passing a resolution of this nature, it is not thought, that It will pass when it comes to the third reading. Senator King argued that Nebraska ha had the same constitution for a third of a century, and Hint the state and conditions had outgrown it. He suld that ninny laws that were up be foro the present session, such as the bill to provide for the raising of the date fund by taxing corporations, were unconstitutional under the pres. rnt constitution, and yet were Impor tant laws, and were really necessary. He declared that the governor had enough work for three men, being on so ninny boards and holding nil sorts of offices, from that of game warden to the head of the state. Cuts Out Cholera Cure.

Hardly u week passes without some quack "doctor" or "eminent special ist," lnforinlnK the public that he has at last discovered the sure euro for tuberculosis. After oxamlnliu every . .. 1 one or tliese so-railed cures, several hundred In number, the National Association states that, one and all, they are misrepresentations or fakes. Two Classes of "Cures." These so-called "cures" art divid ed Into two general classes, Ihe llrst class of "cures" Includes the quack remedies ami nostrums with whlc'i the public Is beinn constantly de ceived. Tliese ranue In kind from Rood whiskey" to pin's blood or ultraviolet ravs. Some few of them, for Instance, ure cod liver oil. Hmo dust. mall, vegetable teas, and num erous Inhalations of supposed Kerni- icliles, boildes a larne number of well known patent and proprietary medicines and numerous disinfect ants. None of these are cures for consumption. They are rather fur the most part of a dangerous char- u'tor. ami patients who take tlieiii mr.y be running a serious rtsu.

Neither Is It possi ble to Inhale a sulllcleully strong germicide to kill the consumption Kcrm. Such un inhalation would kill Ihe patient before It would kill tho Rerm. Another class of "cures" for con sumption, by which many people aro deceived, Inclu les the Hecrel , reme dies advertised by unscrupulous 'doctors" and "professors" nt tho heads of so-called "Institutes.' These people advertise that they ran cure consumption at home by means of remedies which lire secret and known only to them, or sometimes they ad- vtM-tlse that they can cure ronsumi- tlon at. the "institute" where he claims he has a dniK which will surely cure consumption. A "doctor" in Minnesota says he has u new remedy wlliich he himself will ex ploit for the benefit of humanity. A Colorado specialist has advertised a new method of curlni; the disease. A St. Louis drii'Kist claims to have found how to "dynamite" tuberculo sis germs. An "institute" In a west ern state has been opened recently. which pretends to cure consumption, without resort to fresh air treat ment, largely by means of massage, osteopathic manipulations and somo secret methods. Attain, the National association asserts that the very fact of secrecy In these cases tends to discredit the so-called cure. No responsible physician will find a euro for disease and refuse to make it known because of pecuniary motives. Cure Possible. These two classes of "cures" aro not "cures" at nil. Consumption Is n curable disease, however, and In some places more than 75 per cent of the patients under treatment have been restored to health. The essentials for the cure of consumption are rest, fresh air and wholesome food. A urge number of physicians have been working for years to perfect a vac cine, or anti-toxin for tuberculosis. or to Una some agent such as tuber culin which will assist lu the cure of the disease. Thus far,' the experi ments have not. 'furnished a product which will either absolutely cure or prevent consumption, or render tho patient Ininumo against tin dlseose. Many of these serums have proved effective in Increasing the resistance of the patient and thus helping in the cure, hut no scientist of repute to day claims to have discovered a tu berculin which will produce a cure without the combined aid of fresh air, rest and wholesome food.
