WESTERN LEAGUE TEAKS Alt IN A BUNCH
Haa bat Calorade garlacs Shews
Aay Pr1lrl,r Slaa ef Uolaa;
V Oat After the Peaaaat
cm Yet.
Well!
What do you think of th mad dash Bill
Eveiitt la making for the pole 7 Who would
ever have suspected that old veteran with
hia bunch of apava, left-overs and cast
offs of having any license to head the pen
rant race, even for a day? And yet, there
he la. In all hla glory, going down the Una
like a Derby candidate, and the rest of the
bunch trailing Ilka dogs. Can we atand
for It? V'p to date Bill haa had them all
in hla own lot, and Omaha la the only
team that could do business with him.
After today he will have to move, and
maybe when he geta away from the shadow
' of Pike's Peak and the Inspiriting atmos
phere of "the old town" he won't be so
frisky. At any rate, BUI Is going faster
than he haa any license to, and he'll cast
a shoe or break a hopple or go lame, or
do something pretty soon, and what a
lovely slide ha will take when It does begin.
Denver Is dubbing along In the ruck when
by alt rules of dope the Grizalles ought to
be away In the clear. Something's wrong
with the Packard family, and Captain Tom
had better watch out, or he'll hear some
thing unpleaaant. None of the othera are
cutting any particular Ice. Omaha Is play
ing good ball, but In hard luck. Ona of the
games at the Springs, one at Denver and
one to Dea Molnea on the home grounda
were decided against the Rourke family on
luck alone. But this can't keep up forever.
Papa Bill haa spit on the bottom of a brick
and laid It back in the sidewalk, and If that
doean't bring the change, nothing can.
In the meantime a new pitcher Is added
to the staff, and, as he la a tried and tested
article, It la certain ha will deliver the
goods. This make us Just that much
Wronger. Eddie Mickey's bad arm, la keep
Vi.i him out of the game again, but he will
found to and give the team the benefit of
hla presence. Patterson has been etopplng
the gap fairly well, but he Isn't the heady
player Hlckey la, and headwork Is the
Irons- oolnt of the Omaha team. Other
teams are pulling for a better bunch of
players, too, and the chances are that there
will be a number of changea In the roster
of the league before many more daya. It la
a case of fight with all of them, and the
7 warmer the fight the better the public
likes It.
One of the really remarkable exhibitions
that Is placed before the base ball public
today Is that of Walter Wllmot's alleged
Millers. He has made the unparalleled
record of winning one game out of thir
teen and then aatonlshed the world by
turning to and taking the fourteenth game,
tip to date Wilmot's aggregation easily
holds the booby prise. Watkins and hla
Hooslers have gono to the front with good
grace and are easily holding the lead In
the Hlckey race. Joe Cantllllon. who was
going to string 'em all out, haa dropped and
will very likely drop further. Joe might
have been a corking good umpire; but we
remember him and hla managerial methods
In the good old "cigar box" days, and we
didn't like him then. Louisville nor Kan
sas City have shown no great strength
and It begins to iock like the.Tebeau plan
of running two teams la going to result In
neither getting very much out of the race.
In the big leagues the air is still full of
uncertainty. In a meaoure Cincinnati has
redeemed Its promise. At all events, the
Kelley crew Is doing better than It
started. Frank Selee's mldnets are making
a great tear and have been a constant
factor In the race. The teat will come
shortly, when the west meets the east.
Thle Is always the basis for Judgment In
the National. On paper It looks as though
Chicago ought to make good, and Cincin
nati, too. But tt'a a case of wait and see.
Comlskey'a outfit put a atop to the Detroit
runaway. Just as Selee did to Pittsburg.
Connie Mack hasn't set unything on Are yet,
nor hat Clark Griffith, but there Is time
enough for both. By the way, Byron
Batncroft Johnson la much pained to an'
rflince that Messrs. James Collins and
lfk Orlfflth will be unable to take part
InVany capacity In the gamea for three
days, dating from Friday. This Inability Is
due to Mr. Johnson's disapproval of the
, conduct of the aforesaid Collins and
Orlfflth during the last gamea In which they
did participate. It Is faet becoming 'ap
parent that the rulea were made to be
observed and that the rowdy manager la
tollve up to this Idea.
President Sexton haa his first case of
rlwdylsnk to deal with In the Three-I
l.gue. Gray of the Rork Island team
didn't like Umpire Farnham at Blooming
ton, si. took a punch at him, Gray waa
1 fined In the police court, but Sexton s opln
Ion hasn't been handed down yet. It will
be of much Interest to Rowdy Gray when
It doea come.
Walter Wllmot walked the plank Friday
evening, after the Millers had scared their
second win Of the season. Just who will bo
given the vacancy hasn't been announced.
bult It's a cinch that base bull didn't suffer
much when Wilraot was let out.
Bryce of Columbus haa tied another knot
In the Hlckey string by trading his claim
cn Cllngman to Cleveland for Second Base
man Thoney. Catcher Blutterly is thrown
In aa a make-weight. Wonder If Hlckey
will make It an Issue with Ban Johnson
now?
It la not often that two teams combine
In playing aa pretty or as sensational a
game aa Omaha and Des Moines co-operated

pitchers were hit hard and often, the field

one in a thousand and the 4,000 fana got

In the Western league and that there are

HIGH SCHOOL IN BASE BALL
Goad Team la Sight ana Boys Are
Eathaalnstle la Its
Seaport.
All Interest at the High school Is centered
In base ball and the student body Is all
agog with excitement over the prospects
for the best season In several years, With
a team of which half la new material a
very excellent ahowlng haa been made so
far and with the schedule as made out
mere are going to be things doing before
vacation comes.
The High school has been hampered
somewhat by lack of a good field to prac
tice on, but the boys have spent the after
noons In rain and shine In practicing faith
fully and the team haa gotten into good
shape, as was evidenced by the showing
made against Lemars, Friday. The pitchers
for the team are both old men, Greenleaf
having pitched last year and Lowell has
pitched a couple of years on the team. In
Friday's game Greenleaf put up a remark
able display of pitching talent, letting down
the Iowa boys with but three hits. Despite
his youth and Inexperience he plays a cool,
heady game and Is always there at critical
moments. His strong points are his speed
and control, while he does not bend them
as well as Lowell, who has less speed
Captain Robertaon Is holding down the
Initial bag for his fourth year and his loss
will be felt severely by the team another
year. In the rest of the Infield there are
Kennard, Toder and Brome. Kennard la
an old man and has done good work at
third for the team In the years gone by.
Yoder and Brome are both underclassmen
and are serving their first year on the team
and quite acceptably. Brome'a game espe
cially Is above the average for a new man
Toder la doing excellent work' at the bat
as well as In the diamond at short. As It
is his first year on the team he will prove
a valuable man for the team In the next
three years, aa hia experience grows. In
the gardens there Is Cherrington, Bobotker
and Singleton. Cherrington Is the only one
of the three that haa had any previous ex
perience on the team, but the other two
men are playing a game almost as good as
his and they promise to be coming men
on next year'a team, besides filling their
places this year quite acceptably.
One peculiar thing about the High school
team this year Is Its batting. The team as
a whole Is batting exceedingly hard for a
student team. This is usually the weak
point of all amateur teams, but the aggre
gation on the hill all seem to be natural
born hitters and they will win most of
their games this year by hitting the ball
hard and often.
While the schedule for the season has
been somewhat disarranged and may be
added to. It Is now a very good one and
will give the team ample opportunity to
distinguish itself. The schedule Is: Lin
coln High school, at Lincoln, May 16; Coun
cil Bluffs High school, at Omaha. May 23
Lincoln, at Omaha, May 30; Tabor college,
at Tabor, la., June (. The home games
will be played on Crelghton field.

YACHTING DAYS AT MANAWA
Mes Who Sail Boats Are Havlag
Delight fal Tlmea a
the Lake.
There has been little doing at Manawa
among the yachtsmen during the last few
daya beyond the rigging of boats for the
sailing of the hereafter. Most of the old
boots are Just about In shape to take to
the water and feel the breezes, and most
of them will be out skimming over the
surface today.
The new Stevens boat is fully rigged
and had Its first spin on the lake Saturday.
It bears up well under the wind and gives
good promise of being sll that has been
expected of It While all of the confidence
and hope of the club is placed In the
Oshkoah boat, there la a general feeling
am ng the members of the club that a
great deal of good Is going to come to the
club out of the having of this boat on the
lake.
Aa most of the members of the Manawa
Yacht club are Omaha men, a custom has
29c
mk
grown among them of spending Saturday f
night In the club house and sailing all day
Sunday, beginning with, the first gray light
of the morning. Already they are begin-
ing to flock to the lake on Saturday after
noons and sailing all of the early evening
nd Sunday. The arrangements of the
club house have been somewhat changed, so
that all of the members that care to stay
over the night can be cared for without
ny discomfort to them. Last year tittle
preparation had been made for the all-night
members and they had to rough it Ih
true old-fashioned style, but now there Is
plenty of room and comfortable beds for
11 of them In the old locker rooms. While
none of them would ever own to the fact
that a soft, clean bed at home had more
charms for them than the rougher fare of
the club house, It Is more than probable
that those that do not stay on Saturday
nlghta will be far lesa than last year.
The regatta committee has not made any
permanent arrangements for the racing
during the season, but It will meet within
day or two and make all of the arrange
ments. Including the addition of several
cupa to the trophy list. The opening race
will be on Decoration day, according to
custom, of course, and then there will un
doubtedly be the bi-weekly race Instead
of the weekly ones as last summer. Be
sides this. Sundays will find the yuchta
pulling off several races Just for the fun
the thing.
GOLF IS ON THE BOOM AGAIN
Openlagr of Coentry Clab Links Gives
the Spring; Impetas
the Game.
to
With the opening of the Country club a
week ago yesterday golf took a decided
leap Into favor at the club, and during the
week Just gone by the bright, sunny days
have found the links dotted over with
players clad in the" brightness of golfing
paraphernalia and diligently practicing for
the campaign of the summer months. The
day was anything but pleasant for the
opening of a country club, but the clan
gathered, undaunted by mere unworthl
ness of weather, and watched the handicap
match of golf In the afternoon and In the
evening sought the solace of the house
with Its cheery comfort and danced the
social side Into favor and newborn life,
While the afternoons showing on tho
links was not remarkable in the' least It
was Interesting because of Its betas- th
first match of the year and because It
brought out again a number of the players
of last season upon whom the club has
come to depend for Its laurels. R. R.
Kimball, with no handicap whatsoever,
made a net score of 87. which was better
thaj the gross score of any other player.
and so set for himself a mark In the very
beginning. Then. too. there was Gilbert
Hitchcock, W. D. Bancker and Fred Ham
ilton In the match, as well "as several
others of the older ones at the game, and,
all In all. It was a most auspicious begin
ning for the year when one considers the
day and Its accompanying weather.
On Wednesday the women had their first
trial on the links and now. there Is tn
be a second handicap for the men on next
Saturday, so It may well be hoped that the
game is really started on its way to another
year of favor at the Country club.
BELLEVUE'S TRACK TEAM BUSY
Yoana- Collegians Show Mach Interest
la the Oatdoor Sporting
Events.
rown at Bellevue the collegians are
working hard every day to get into form
for the work that Is laid out for the track
team this month. Track work is very
young at Bellevue and material somewhat
scarce, but the boys are undaunted and are
working against terrific odds and now have
more than a semblance of a track team.
The team aa It is constituted at present Is
unevenly balanced, the sprints, the high
jump and tne weights being the strong
points for the team. It is difficult with but
ninety men to gather together enough to
make any considerable showing against the
other Nebraska colleges, but what hard
work and training will perform they prom
ise to do, and It will not be an easy
victory for Doane when the two collegea
meet on the track at Crete on May 16. In
this meet the college will enter men In
all of the regular track eventa although
It will strain the resources of the school
somewhat. On Decoration day they will
also enter men In the state Intercollegiate
meet at Crete. This time It Is doubtful
If the team will compete In all events.
there are not sufficient men In the team to
do all that would be required of them and
there would be little likelihood of any of
the honors In some of the events falling
to Bellevue.
In Alec Cooper and Cornwall the hopes
of Bellevue are chiefly centered, as the two
of them are the beat that they have and
both are all around men. aCooper runs in
the quarter and throws the weights and Is
capable of competing in several other of
the events If necessary. Last fall he played
tackle on the foot ball team. Cornwall, who
la an Omaha boy, is a 100-yard man and
the pole vault, besides which he can be re.
lied upon to help out In the high Jump
and the 220-yard dash. Pope is the regular
man at the high Jump and has a record of
five feet Ave Inches, and Is likely to better
that mark before tho season la. over.
Nichols Is slated for the hurdles and Is
good man for a beginner In his line. In
Belth, Darling and Wood the college has
three freshmen who are displaying great
qualities aa track men and they will prob
ably represent the school this year quite
well. Belth does the short sprints, as does
also Darling, while Wood Is In on the high
Jump.
The greatest Interest at Bellevue centers
In the base ball team and the track team
has au(Tered somewhat at the hands of it.
The two fields are separated and It haa
been Impossible for. Athletic Director Pipe!
to coach both branches at once and he has
spent the greater portion of hla time In
the development of his base ball squad.
Every effort was bent to the securing of
a list of good games so as to arouse student
enthusiasm and success was theirs. The
schedule was made out and included sev
eral of the fastest of the minor college
and semi-professional teama tn their sec
tlon or tne country. Tney played a game
each with the Omaha High school. Fort
Crook, Cotner and the Omaha league team
and took the first two of them. The last
of last week they took the first trip, going
to Lincoln and playing Wesleyan on Frl
day and Cotner on Saturday. On May 13
they rlay Yankton at Bellevue; May 16,
Tabor college at Tabor; May 21, Crelghton
at Bellevue; May 23, Morningslde at Belle
vue; liny 29, Motr.lnglde at Sioux City
May 30 Yankton college at Yankton, S. D.
June 1, I'nlverslty of South Dakota at Ver
milion, C. D. This Is the first time that
Bellevue has had such a pretentious
schedule and much of the credit for It must
be given to the athletic director, who haa
spared no ffcrts In pushing Bellevue to
the front. The team Is a good hitting team
for a college team, but Is shy on pitchers,
the to men being only fair. DIcklnHon I
the standby as a pitcher, has a good heed
good control and a fine collection of bends,
but lacks speed, while Glbbs, the other
man has all of the good qualities that hi
paramour haa, but lacka control, which he
makes up for with speed.
SENATOR OF THE OLD SCE100L
A Mau "View Sntianoe Into Poslio Lift
Was Worthy of His Exit.
WELL-EARNED TRIBUTE TO SENATOR VEST
How
He Discovered and Prevented
the Leasing of Yellowstone Park
Hla Baecessfal Plea for
Free Coal.
Half a doien New Yorkers were seated
one evening in the fall of 18S1 around a
table In the dining room of the best-
pretty poor best hotel at Fargo, then
frontier village of Dakota territory, re-
ates David Graham Fhlllips In the Satur
day Evening Post. They were "opening
wine" In celebration of something of which
they talked loudly. Jubilantly and with
careless tongues. The rest of the dining
room soon gathered that the gayety was
the result of an Inspection tour from which
they had Just returned. They bad been
promised the lease of a vast and rich part
of the public domain. Before they saw it
they kntw It was a "good thing." Now they
know that It was a prie enormously
greater than anyone had dreamed, the po
tentiality of a huge fortune for each of
them.
At a table In the corner sat a small.
stern looking man with Iron gray hair and
military mustache forehead and eyea and
aw a r.otablo exhibit of strength of In
tellect ond character. The noisy New
Yorkers did not observe him, and ho was
evidently trying not to observe them. He
strove to shut his ears against their vulgar
boasting, until
One of them spoke two words. The
stern man, as small of stature as a boy
or a Napoleon started and stared at the
unobservln; group in amazement. From
that time forth his show of Inattention
waa pretense.
The small, stern man was George Graham
Vest, a new senator In congress from Mis
souri. The two words that had set him
to listening were "Yellowstone park!"
Taking advantage of the Ignorance In
the settled parts of the Vntted States as
to the far west, this ring of New Yorkers
bad persuaded a complaisant official ot tho
Department of the Interior to help them
obtain quietly from the government a
practically perpetual lease of the nation's
magnificent park 6.500 square miles of In
valuable property. For a nominal sum the
Yellowstone park was to be turned over
to these few private persons and they were
to have a free hand In exploiting it for
their private benefit.
Senator Vest had come to Fargo to say
the last goodbye to a dying friend. It
was by mere chance that he was in the
dining room but the whole Incident was a
chspter of accidents.
Letting; ta the Light.
As soon as congress assembled Mr. Vest
rose to make his first important appear
ance In the national arena, to render his
first Important service to the nation. And
as every year adds to the value of the Yel
lowstone park, so every year adds to the
value of that Initial public service.
He demanded the documents In relation
to "the proposed lease of Yellowstone
park." Those senators who knew were In
consternation; those who did not know
wero astounded. Incredulous. But the reso
lution was passed and it drew the docu
ments from their hiding place in the In-
terlor department, and there followed a
stormy outburst of public Indignation. Tho
rlngsters wondered how the thing had
leaked out. Ono of them, watching the
senatorial storm from the senate galleries,
taw the small, stern figure, recognized it
and hastened to tell his follows what mis
chief a few bottles ot champagne and a
little premature crowing In an out-of-the
way corner of the wilderness had done them
and their schemes and their fortunes.
Senator Vest's victory was easy, but none
the less splendid. It showed the country
the character which has ever since been
conspicuous alert, keen, courageous, skill
ful. Incorruptible. By going to the rlng
sters he would have made a fortune. By
going for the rlngsters he made another
kind of fortune. And he has been indus
triously adding to It ever since.
Such was his first appearance and first
service. Now for his last the two admir
ably and completely express a national
career of nearly a quarter ot a century.
Plea for Free Coal.
One bitterly cold day In the present win
ter It was In January the senate was in
animated. In almost hysterical session. The
leaderless and planless and helpless demo
cratic minority lounged listless and feeble
at the desks to the right all except one
man. But some tremendous force was agi
tating, n as terrorizing the republican ma
jority. It is an overwhelming, a united
majority. Yet dread, dismay, panic looked
from the eyes of Its leaders.
What had dismayed, what was dismay
ing, these habitually calm and self-poised
leaders of an immovable majority? What
had unnerved and affrighted this assem
bly of Hons?
A mouse, apparently.
Among the minority, facing the unnerved
lions, stood, or rather waa propped, a
mere mite of a human being. His body
was so small and so shrunk that hla head
scarcely a foot and a halt above
the level of his desk. His black clothes
hung in bags upon his wasted body and It
seemed to be able to stand only because It
was wedged between the. chair and desk.
A splendid brow adorned with scant,
white hair; a skin of waxen pallor; eyes
deep hid In dark sockets and beneath lids
that seemed to have risen for the last time;
a snow-white mustache shading a mouth
that seemed set In the rigor ot death. And
a few feet behind the propped figure stood
watchful attendant, ready to catch It
should It become loosened from Its prop
pings. Such was the astounding spectscls which
the galleries wstched with amazement.
The lions were gazing as it fascinated, and
their looks concentrated upon this strange
and corpse-like apparition of Insignificance.
Irresistible Loilo,
Senator Vest demanded the repeal of the
duty on coal. His speech waa calm and
simple, a passionless arraying of unan
swerable facta the monopoly, the tariff,
licensed extortion, the suffering of the
people. Aldrlch replied a nervous, agi
tated evasion. The weird figure he was ad
dressing seemed to cast a spell over him,
taking the gllbness from bis tongue, ths
plausibility from his protestations.
Senator Vest renewed his demand with
more merciless facts snd arguments.
Hoar replied a quavering plea that the
senate hadn't tha constitutional right to
originate such a measure. The weird
figure of llfe-in-death which he faced as
he talked affected him ss It had affected
Senator Aldrlch.
Tha voice from the propped-up figure de
molished the plea of technicality and re
newed the demand tranquil, logical, with
rapier etesdfastly stmed at the craven and
quaking heart of "the Interests." Hale re

PRESIDENT OF THE MINNEHAHA CLUB.
Gentlemen : I suffered with Eozema oa tha
hands and face for over a year. It was not only
annoying and painful, but very unsightly, and I
disliked to go out in the streets. I tried at least a
dozen soaps and salves, and became very much
discouraged, until I read in the papers of the
cures performed through the use of 8. 8. 8., and
determined to give it a month's trial at least. X
am pleased to state that I soon notloed a slight
improvement, suflioient to deolde me to keep it
up. After the use of six bottles my skin was as
soft and smooth as an Infant's. This was a year
ago, and I have never had any trouble slnoe.

humors and poisons that produce the itching eruption, roughness and redness of the skin,
must be rooted out before there is complete relief from the terrors of Eczema. Nothing
applied externally does any permanent good, for whenever the blood is overheated, or the skin
is reacting during Spring and Summer, the disease breaks out again. You can't rely upon
washes, soaps and salves, or such things as are applied to the surface, for they do
not reach the seat of the trouble, which is internal and deeply implanted in the system; the
blood is aflame with the itching, burning humors, which are carried by the circulation to
the surface and are being constantly forced out through the glands and pores of the skin, and
you can never heal the sores or stop the aggravating eruptions with external applications.
To neutralize the acids in the blood and expel the humors and poisons is the only way
to get permanently rid of this torturing skin trouble, and no remedy known does this so
quickly and thoroughly as S. S. S. It purifies the blood and restores it to health, and the
outbreak of the poison through the skin ceases, and the sores and eruption gradually
disappear. S. S. S. builds up the thin acid blood, makes it rich and strong, and restores

and his lieutenants sat In frowning, angry
circle, eyeing their conquerer. They hid
counted on the lack of skill In the minority.
They had supposed that Vest was too 111
to make the fight. And until he mado that
fight, arraigned them at the bar of public
opinion, calmly showed them that It they
persisted they would not save "the In
terests," but would destroy them and Im
peril the whdle protection system, they
had not realized the danger ot their own
position. Indeed, it was not dangerous
until Senator Vest made it so. For there
never is a real issue until some man, some
leader with tho heart to feel an Issue and
the mind to plan It and ths eloquence to
state it, rises and points it out and draws
the lines ot battle.
tbooslnar tbe Wiser Conrae.
Aldrlch thought it over. He chose tbe
wiser course to sacrifice the one "Inter
est" for the salvation of the many, to re
move at least the sting of fury from the
growing popular demand for cutting "the
interests" out of the tariff. The duty was
taken off coal; the coal crowd, seeing what
would be the effect of the object lesson
of their prices forced down by foreign coal
actually in the market, made haste to put
down the price before Importation could
begin. But they deceived no one but .them
selves. Tbe country knew why the price
of coal suddenly went tumbling down until
It bad become comparatively cheap.
It was the most Impressive possible ob
ject lesson In the power ot one man, no
matter who or what or how many or how
much or poses, when that man Is armed
cap-a-ple in justice, and knows when and
where and how to strike. If Vest in tbe
very cluches ot death could thus snatch
victory from such organized and seemingly
Impregnable might, who that is right need
ever despair?
The real measure of that victory has not
yet been taken. It was, in fact, a victory
In which Vest sheathed his sword in tho
very heart of his ancient toe, tariff extor
tion. For never before bad be or any other
opponent of "the Interests" wrenched from
them from Aldrlch himself the admission
that a tariff schedule can foster a mo
nopoly, and that the way to strike at mo
nopoly is to repeal Its protecting duty.
Senator Vest will never be heard In the
senate again. When he had completed that
victory he let his attendant bear htm away
to tbe bed from which he had risen to make
one more fight, his last. He belongs In
that diminishing group of what may be
called the senators of the old republic. It
may come again, but It Is not now. Senator
Vest has never cared for money, and hs has
little of It. But that does not disturb him.
Between the lines of that biography one
reads the story of a life of tbe old-fash
ioned type. Nowadays a brain like bis
would not be permitted to grow and bear
fruit In surroundings of such simplicity and
quietness. And now be has passed from the
public stage forever. His record in tbe
senate Is: A great public service at the
outset. Peaks of public service through
out, each peak rising not from a dark val
ley, but from the open', level plain. The
highest peak at the last.

The Blood Aflame with aa Itching;
Humor that sets the
Skin on Fire.
' Eczema, the most common and terrible of all skin
troubles, begins sometimes with a slight redness of the
skin, which gradually spreads, and as the inflammation and
itching increases, the entire system is thrown into a restless,
feverish condition. Soon little watery blisters or
pimples break out, from which a clear liquid or
yellow fluid is discharged, which forms thick crusts
and sores, or falls oil in fine particles or scales,
leaving the skin raw and tender, or hard and dry
like parchment. Eczema attacks most frequently
the legs and arms, back and chest, face and hands,
and is a disease that comes and goes in the earlier
stages, but is a perpetual torment and constant
annoyance when chronic. At times the itching and
stinging is so great that the sufferer is driven almost
to distraction, and tortured beyond endurance scratches
and rubs till the skin is broken and bleeds; but
this only acrerravates and spreads the disease. The
being a strictly vegetable medicine, acts gently, leaving
no bad after-effects, as do Arsenic, Potash and other
minerals which are usually prescribed in skin diseases.
Eczema cannot be cured by anything applied to the
surface of the body; the blood must be purified and the
cause removed, and in no other way can this deep-seated
skin disease be reached. If you have Tetter, Psoriasis,
