There was an ashy place on his head about the size of a ten-cent piece, and the hair was falling from this Hace by the roots. In about ten days all over his head were these ashy spots which looked like ringworm, hut were porous-like. The itching and burning made him scratch a great deal. His head had gotten so that it was just a mass of mattery little pimples all heaped on each other, and when I took off his nightcap, the hair rand flesh came off at the same time. 1 really thought he would lose his whole scalp. He couldn't sleep for weeks, it would itch and burn until I thought he would go into convulsions. “1 used different and salves to no satisfaction I decided to ute the Cuticura and Ointment.

He would so far outstrip all the other huskers that they would wonder how many hands he had A Michigan man invented this device, which consists of a pair of pivotally connected curved Jaws, a handle carried by each jaw, and strips on each handle by means of which they may be fastened to Corn Musker, the hand. The interior of the jaws are serrated, so that when they are gripped over the husk of an ear of corn they take hold of it and strip it off in a twinkling, rolling the entire husk back at once. One motion is all tice & man can husk corn with this device as fast as he can pick the oars up. Make Silos Deep.
