been great sufferer with Salt Rheum for so years,

good, and came to the conclusion that could not
be cured But friend called my attention to an
article in the Union skin diseases, and got box
of COTICURA. The first application great re-
lief, and the third took the scales all off and felt
like new man. have used three 50-cent boxes
and my skin is smooth, and consider myself en-
tirely cured Hoping that this may be seen by some
one afflicted as have been df there is any Is my
earnest wish And cheerfully recommend it to all
persons afflicted with like diseases.
Yours truly, b. WILSON LORD.

Messrs. WEEKS & POTTER: GeRtiefRen;-We have
a case of Leprosy in poorhouse which is being
cured by your CUTIcURA remedies. The county had

The patient commenced using the CUTICCRA and
Immediately began getting better.
IL had been confined to his bed for two and one
half years. Hdd not had has clothes during this
time. Last week he dressed for the first time.

We do not say he Is cured, but he is in Il fair way
to be cured to say the least. Yours truly,

Away from the city's fierce strife.

Out into the meadows went he;
And while the tanned farmers were moving
He sat him down under a tree.

The poet beneath green tree.
And his swath heightened and length ened,
He neared the poets retreat,
And wearied with scythe and with SUNSHINE

Read what he had written that day,
Of the q" farmer who merrily moweth
In the fragrance of newly-cut hay"
And when he had finished his poem,
He smiled on the farmer so bland,
And said to him, elbow do you like it?
I'm sure that you must understand"
And the farmer-he leaned on his elbow,
And said to the poet 80 blithe,
" It's good, but you'd never writ it
If you'd been swingin' the scythe!"
II. R. Dorr, in Burlington Hawkeye.
