BUY YOUR HOSE NOW! J. H. BATTSON, POLLEN ST. THAMES. ECZEMA 'ENSITTVE people feel eczema acuteJ ly. The continued irritation, the unsightly eruptions and the uncertainty where the trouble will next spread makes them feel almost ashamed. Eczema is not due to dirt, but to the fact that certain skins react badly to various forms of irritation (internal or external) and poor general health increases the liability. Since there is a great tendency for eczema to spread and to become chronic, early local treatment is imperative, and the best salve for this purpose is Doan's Ointment. It penetrates to the true skin where the inflammation lies, is antiseptic and healing, and quickly allays the irritation. Doan's Ointment is also good for other Itching skin complaints and for the relief of piles. Mrs. G. Kidd, 2 Clubb Street, Rozelle. Sydney, says: "I must tell you how Doan's Ointment cured my little girl of a v«ry Irritating rash, which had defied all treatment. The rash resembled eczema, and was obstinate to cure, the different preparations I applied doing no good whatever. Doan's Ointment, however, soon began to ease the irritation, the healing and soothing effects being noticeable in a few days. The improvement continued, and by the time two pots were used the rash had completely disappeared, and not a mark was left. I cannot praise Doan's Ointment sufficiently and advise its use whenever possible." Eight years later, Mrs. Kidd says: "There has been no return of the irritating skin trouble since Doan's Ointment was used over eight years ago." Doan's Ointment is sold by all chemists and storekeepers. FosterMcClellan Co., Proprietors, 15 Hamilton Street, Sydney. * But, be sure you get DOAN'S,

Some interesting particulars about smoking figured in a London correspondent's letter to a New Zealand paper the other day. The writer (claiming to know), declares that English, women are the heaviest smokers, of their sex, the world over; that .soldiers and outdoor workers are the heaviest male smokers in Eng'and; tnd that English parsons smoke more than any other class of professional men. As for tobacco (this has been noted before) there is less demand for the coarser brands than formerly, the general preference now being for better quality lines. The same tendency, it is interesting to note, ia in evidence in New Zealand, and has been ever since "toasted" made its appearance. In fact, the five toasted brands, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead). Xavy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, may be said to have educated the public taste, and created a demand for "the best." Not only are these five blends of the highest grade, but being practically free from nicotine (eliminated by toasting) they cannot harm the smoker even though he ©mokes to excess! —Ad.
