Resinol Soap possesses the healing qualities of the Ointment, and is invaluable for cleansing affected parts. I tried your Resinol Ointment on myself. I had suffered from pruritus ani, or marginal eczema, for 25 years, and had tried many remedies without any relief, until Resinol proved soothing and stopped the itching instantly. J. T.

PHILLIPS CHEMICAL CO., NEW YORK university growing old at the same time, and said that there should be a fixed period for the teacher, either of time of service or of age. He spoke of the comparative uselessness of men above forty years of age, and said that to modify an old saying, "A man is sane morally at thirty, rich mentally at forty, wise spiritually at fifty-or never." He said that the young man should be encouraged and afforded every possible chance to show what is in him, and that the chief value of the teacher, who is no longer a productive factor, is to determine whether the thoughts which the young men are bringing to the light are false idols, or true and noble ideas. He said that it would be of incalculable benefit in commercial, political and professional life, if men would retire from work at the age of sixty. He said that the teacher's life should have three periods, study until twenty-five, investigation until forty, profession until sixty, at which age he would have him retired on at double allowance. He went at some length into the history of the Johns Hopkins Medical School, mentioning the strict entrance requirements and the scientific teaching in laboratory work especially. He dwelt on the necessity for practical training in the hospital wards, as well as in the laboratories and class rooms. He said that the Faculty of Johns Hopkins University has been blessed with two remarkable presidents who had been a stimulus in every department, and that the good fellowship and harmony among the Faculty has been delightful. Tonsillitis Scarlet Fever Diphtheria Infection in these diseases enters through an inflamed throat. The neighboring lymph glands guard against the passage of toxines into the circulation. But just at this critical time they become engorged and need assistance. ANTIPHLOGISTINE permits of the continuous application of moist heat, the physical princip le of osmosis and the continuous stimulation of cutaneous reflexes, all of which tend to maintain the blood and lymph circulation in the affected part and to hasten the elimination of toxines. The enlarged glands are depleted and the liability to Mastoiditis, Middleear and Laryngeal complications is lessened. Pain and sense of oppression are overcome, the patient experiences decided comfort and convalescence is materially hastened. Directions Always heat Anti- place with a suitable compress.
