» Intense Itching Eczema Drove Him Nearly to Despair— Chief Surgeon of a London Hospital Called It Worst Case He Had Ever Seen — Got Little or No Relief Until CUTICURASTOPPED HIS UNBEARABLE TORTURE "About four years ago, in London, I was troubled by a severe itching and dry, scurfy Bkin /^^Nv on my ankles and jj J\ feet. The same, v "y- '^T'r^ in a few days, was the case with m y arms and <\ X./^rv^C Pv scalp.

Then t^iLy^v L^sXinr l ar s e re< i patches rr~iAl appeared, with V\ rr^VuEsvV^ inflammation 1] I kz^&rZ^^l anc * soreness. ' After ten days, thousands of small red pimples formed. On becoming dry, these caused intense itching. I was advised to go to the hospital for diseases of the skin. I did so and was an out-patient for a month or more, the chief surgeon saying: 'I never saw such a bad case of eczema.' But I got little or no relief. Then I tried many so-called remedies, but I became so bad that I almost gave up in despair. On coming to this country I heard so many accounts of cures by Cuticura Remedies that I resolved, as a last resource, to give them a trial. This was after suffering agonies for twelve months, and right glad am I that I did so, for I was relieved of the almost unbearable itching after two or three applications of Cuticura Ointment. I continued its use, combined with a liberal use of Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Resolvent Pills and am more than thankful to say that after using three sets of the Remedies. I was completely cured. I can only add that, should any one be suffering as I did, I hope that they will do as 1 did, and I am sure of the results. Henry Searle, Cross St., Little Rock, Ark., U. S. A., Oct. 8 and 10,1907."

JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN. By Din\h Mulock Craik, Illustrated by W. M. Bowles. Blackie and Son. London, Glasgow, Dublin, and Bombay. The handsome new edition of this at one time well-known novel, put on the market by Messrs Blackie and Son, would appear to indicate that there is a demand for really healthy novels of the old school, marking* no doubt, a reaction from the stories of the fleshly school which have been so much in vogue recently. Should this be the case it is matter for congratulation, and the publishers rce *o be complimented on their enterprise in catering for the demand. In its day Mrs Craik's story was very popular for many years, and was translated into Fiench, German, and Russian.
