Eczema or Salt Rheum
A Troublesome Skin Disease
Bitters
RURDOCK
Eczema manifests itself in little
round blisters which contain an ex
tremely irritating fluid. They break,
and subsequently a crust is formed,
and the intense burning, itching and
smarting is almost unbearable.
Burdock Blood Bitters is the
remedy for giving relief to all such
sufferers.
Mrs. H. J. Frost, R.R. 2,Belleville,
Ont., writes:—-“I was troubled with
eczema on my face, in fact all over
my body. It would raise up in
water blisters, break and scab over
which was very Jiri taring.
A friend told me about Burdock
Blood Bitters, and it proved of
wonderful help to me.”
Mrs. Sarah Atkinson, Concession 3
Blansliard, relict of the late J. B.
Atkinson, who predeceased her in
190'8, passed away at the home of
her son, Robert A., on the old home
stead, on Wednesday morning of last
week. Mrs. Atkinson was the oldest
known resident of Blansliard Town
ship, and had up until Saturday en
joyed reasonably good health, and!
had retained her mental faculties to
a remarkable extent. She had as
sisted with the usual routine of
household duties when she was sud
denly stricken with a severe pain in
her head extending to her side. Her
condition gradually became worse'
until death relieved her of her suf
fering on Wednesday morning. She
was in her ninety-third year.
The late Mrs. Atkinson was born
in Newtonstewart County, Tyrone,
Ireland, in 1841, and was a daughter
of the late Humphrey A. and Ellen
Lucas White of Scotch (C'onvenator)
and English descent. In 18'5 3 with

I Mrs. Atkinson was of a kindly ana
genial disposition, loved and respec

could always be relied upon as a
true friend ancb neighbor. She was a
life-long member of the Anderson
Methodist Church, later United

active in all its activities. Truly it
