TNFANTILE SKIN DISEASES.

Our eldest child, now six years Of age, when an
infant six months old was attacked with viruent,
malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies
falng,we called our family physician, who attempt
ed to cure it; but it spread with almost incredible
rapidly, until the lower portion of the little fe
lows person, from the middle of the back down to
ed. and malicious. We had no rest at night no
pc zee by day. Finally, We were advised to try che
Cuticura Remedies The effect was simply mary
elOus. In three or four weeks complete cure was
wrought leaving the little fellows person as white
and healthy as though he had never been attacked.
In my OPINION your valuable remedies saved his
life, and to-day he is strong, healthy child per-
fectly well, no repetition having ever occurred.

THINGS must be in bad shape down
in Adams county. The Portsmouth
Blade says the Democrats carry politics
into everything. They manage to get
control of the Sunday Schools, the
Churches, the Teachers Institute, the
Children's Home, the Inlirmary and ev-
erything else they can turn to political
use. A Republican can not get Ger
tificate to teach school in that county
without first promising to use his infu-
ence for the Democratic ticket If he
will do that he gets certificate, no mat
ter as to his qualifications to pass exam
ination, he gets ticket any how. There
is not another county in the State, prob
ably not one in the Union where the
Democracy are more desperate mean, or
where they have such hold upon the
public.
