Its Head Rendered a Vol- cano of Fiery, Itching, Burning Pains. So speaks Maxwell Johnson, 112 Ann Bt., Toronto : My six-year-old daughter, Bella, was affiioted with eczema for 24 months, the principal seat of eruption be- ing behind her ears and on her face ; her head was on fire with painful, burning itching, whioh was made worse by con- stant scratching and tearing it with her hands. We spent money without stint in constant endeavor to afford the little sufferer relief, every advertised remedy was tried ; innumerable treatments with soaps and medicines and specific treat- ment by physioian° havinghigh endorse- ments in curing such diseases were of no relief in her case. A short time ago I purchased a box of Dr. Chase's Oint- ment, the first application of which showed the curative effect of the Dint, meat ; only one half of the box has been used, with the marked change of an entire disappearance of the eruptions, and I can confidently say my child is permanently cured. Any enquiry cheer• fully answered with enolosed stamp. WEDDING BELLS.—On Wedneeday, Jan. 30th, about 120 invited guests assembled at the residents of 0.

Many were the congratulations extended to the new- ly married' couple, wishing them a long andhappy voyage together down the Westin of life. After the ceremonywas performed all repaired to the dining room, where dinner was ready waiting, the tables fairly groaning beneath their load, and to say that justioe was done to the inner -man would be putting it mild. After the dinner was served, all, old and young, indulged in, dancing, games, ebo., until the break of day. The presents were numerous, neatly and beautiful, showing the very high esteem in which the young couple are held by their many friends.. Tits Posi says "Good luok." W. W.
