MY OLDEST CHILD,
Now six years Of age, when an infant six months
old. was attacked with virulent, malignant skin
disease All ordinary remedies falling we called
but it spread with almost incredible rapidity, until
the lower portion of the little fellows person, from
the middle of his back down to his knees, was one
solid rash. ugly. painful, blotched, and malicious.
We had no rest at night, no peace by day. The
physician did not know then, and does not know
now what ii was. Finally we were advised to try
CUTIcURA REMEDIES. Without the knowledge of
our physician. procured box of CUTICURA and
a cake of CUTIcURA SOAP, The effect
WAS SIMPLY MARVELLOUS,
Issuing the two together. first washing him tho :
oughIy with CUTIcURA SOAP, then amounting him
with CUTICURA. From the first application a
change for the better appeared. The doctor said
we had no further need of him and ceased his
visits In three or four weeks a complete cure
was wrought, leaving the lirtle fellows person as
white and healthy as though he had never been
attacked. In my opinion, your valuable remedies

having ever occurred. You are welcome to make

The Ludicrous Predicament in Which .

IRichmond (va) speciaLl
Intelligence was received here that a
young lady and gentleman, living near
the Red Sulpur Springs and whose names
are omitted on account of their families,
eloped from the house of the lady's par
ents for the purpase of getting married.
Inc lying pair were in buggy, and
made good time until Indian creek was
reached. the creek was very high, but
an attempt was made to ford it, when
midway in the stream the vehicle was
washed over and the occupants thrown
into the water. They lodged against
broken tree in the middle of the creek.
The young man caught the lady as the
rushing waters were carrying her down
and held her. Fortunately, just at the
foot OF the tree there was sufficient
toothold for the young man to
stand, SO that the water only came up to
his arm pits, but on either side of him it
was too deep and the current too strong
for him to venture to reach the shore. He
held the young lady in his arms for two
hours before they were discovered. The
position was made more unpleasantbyt the
sun pouring its rays upon them. Fortu.
nately when the buggy was overturned an
umbrella was thrown in reach of the young
man, and he managed to open and hold it
over the young lady. Novel as was the
catastrophe, the rescue was more novel. A
young man, although the risk was great,
swan stron horse to the place, and the
imperiled lady and gentleman hung on to
the animals tail and were brought back
safely. The father caught up with the
pair at the creek and the wedding did not
take place.
