FEARFUL ECZEMA
FROM BABYHOOD
Until 8 Years Old-Faco First AF- fected, Then Body Eyes Almost Hidden Legs a Mass of Humour -Clothes Stuck Fast to Flesh--- Parents Fought Disease in Vain,
ANOTHER GREAT CURE
EFFECTED BY CUTICURA
#At the are of three months I first ceramenced to suffer from eczema which started on the forehead as a red patch. This gradually broke out in spote and in time spread all over my face. Vari- pus remedios were triad, but without suocess I then commenced treating according to the doctor's orders, but not much good was done, . After a few months of this, the disease began to spread all over my face and my parents tall me that at this stage my eyes woTO like looking into two holes, as tho spota were so bad. Eventually the disease left my face only to break out in other parts of my body. They tried modi- cines, herbs and soaps, and is fact any- thing that was recommended.
This trouble went on until I was eight years old. At that age, my par ents decided to give the Cuticura Reme- dies & trial. When they were first used, the condition. I was in must have been extra bad, as they tell me they had to peel my shirt from my back, as it used to stick to the sores. My legs were a solid massof eczema from the inside to the call. Mystockings used to stick every day and they had to be pulled of slong with the spots. I had to wear gloves to keep me from scratching the soros. The first night Cuticure was used I slept all night, which was a thing I had not done for some time. An Improvement could be seen immediately and after using three sets of Cuticura Soap. Ointment and Itesolvert I was practically cured, Cuticura Soap was continued for about twelve months when I was quite free and my skin clear again.

THE BANK FREMISES.
It will be noticed that the figures in the
alas of the exports from Great Britain to Chipa, excinding Hongkong, decreased by no less than three-and-a-half millions sterling. So aldo in the case of Japan, the shipments from Great Britain in 1908 and 1909 wero no lesa than three-and-three-quarter millions sterling below the shipments in 1907. These figures speak for themselves, and, I think, are amply. endficient to sccount for the decreased earning power of this bank and other kindred institu- From a missionary resident in Changsha attione doing business in the Far East.
