The harp alone on ^-which Mr. Cortese plays cost ^something over one thousand ~ dollars. The harp, as claimed by expert musicians, is one of the most delightful musical instruments in the world, capable of the sweetest tones and depth of range, and under the master hand of Mr. Cortese a feast of music is promised the people of Tupelo, unlike anything ever presented.

Ex-Commissioner of Health, •ays: “There Is almost no relation be tween skin diseases and the blood.” The skin must be cured through the skin.

The most advanced physicians of this country are now agreed on this, and are prescribing a wash of wintergreen, thymol and other ingredients for eczema and all other skin diseases. This com pound is known as D.D.D. Prescription for Eczema. Dr. Holmes, the well known skin spe cialist writes: ‘'I am convinced that the D.D.D. Prescription is as much a specific for eczema as quinine for malaria. I have been prescribing the D.D.D. remedy for years.” It will take away the itch the instant you apply it. In fact, we are so sure of what D.D.D. will do for you that we will be glad to let you have n $1 bottle on our guar e that it will cost you nothing un less you find that it does the work.
