Eczema is a tormenting, stubborn TTrHlMfi TNTFNF
disease caused by an acid humor in 1 1 I-alaJJEi
the blood coming in contact with the skin and producing- redness, inflam
mation and almost intolerable itching. An inactive state of the system and
sluggish condition of the eliminative members leaves the waste and refuse
matter of the body to collect and sour instead of passing them off through
nature's channels of bodily waste. The blood in its efforts to purge the sys
tem of all foreign matter absorbs this acid and throws it off through the
pores and glands of the skin. The acrid humor seems to ooze out and set
thefkin on fire, the it'aw colored, sticky fluid drying and forming crusts,
and the itching is in ense. When these pustules are scratched off the skin
is left raw and fevet. h and often a solid sore is formed and kept up by the
constant esrape of a An from the blood. Local applications of salves, pow
rlers, lotions etc. an- desirable and should be used because they allay Hit
itching and give the sufferer temporary comfort, but are in no sense curative,
because they cannot leach the seat of the trouble, which is in the blood

"ON THE BRIDGE AT MIDNIGHT
Extraordinary excellence in story,
plot and scenery are seldom found
in the plays of a melodramatic
tinge but the management has succeeded
in achieving this rare union as the many
thousands who have seen, "On The Bridge
at Midnight" are well aware. On the
one hand the sensational trash of some
melodramas is avoided and on the other
hand a whcLsome play is brightened wi'h
real comedy, genuine heart interest and
an altogether exceptional embellishment
of scenery that includes one of the master-
ion of the engineering triumph of Chicago
its great jack knife or lift draw bridge.
