University of chitin reported Eexoellent results in the treatment of eczema by the use of corn nor E ipartlcular brand of corn oil used as good results as the Chicago phy- siclans. i More recently, as reported in HAmerican Journal, Diseases of Children," research physicians at lthe Universities of Texas and Min- inesota studied 225 patients with ec- ,zema,' 123 under the age of two. 07 lbetween two and 15 and 35 age l6 or over. They were observed four weeks or longer before being treat- ed so that their condition without treatment could be gstlcnated cor- rectly. Ceraln fats were included in the diets of patients who had not been helped by various methods of treat- ment. The greatest nmtber were given fresh lard by mouth in doses f l to 2 ounces daily, beginning iwlth a. teaspoonful with each meal; ;the largest dose was an ounce with each meal. With the others, the lard was mixed with sugar, peanut butter, cinnamon or Jam and served with cereal. as a spread for crack- lers or a sandwich. Other oils used -were corn oil, tar oil and olive oil. Treatment in most cases was con- tinued at least three months. Dur- ing the fat treatment the diets of ,the patients were normal. " Of the patients treated by the ' fat diet, the eczema cleared up cem- pletely or nearly disappeared in 60, showed definite improvement in 51, and showed little or no improve- .ment in 3'7. Improvzmnet occurred ;in a higher percentage of those ‘given lard than of those given other forms of fats or oils. Definite im- provement occurred in 88 per cent of infants, 64 per cent of children, and 60 per cent o! adults. Another encouraging fact ls that while this fat. is added to the diet. any surface or skin treatment may be used. Eating some lard three times a day does not seem to be a high price w pay for such s real chance to get rid of eczema.

All about the place lies n spooky. swampy region covered by a dense growth of mossy vegetation and quicksands that make its approach dangerous at most points. On the north side, near the road can be seen a large spring bubbling up from the lake's bottom. Where this water goes is still somewhn of a mystery as there is no visible outlet. It is a natural curiosity m" 96°- ple have always looked upon with mve, and many of the eurly settlers believed the legcrfd which I now give to my readers, namely: that the lake was once the home of a sea monster. Indeed, some of those super- stltious folk claimed to have seen the terrible creature swimming about in the water. It was, so they claimed, somewhat. like a pig in shape though many times larger. with a huge elephant-shaped head that contained but one saucer-sized eye and a gigantic horn curved like a reaping hook.
