Our little son will be four years of age on
the 25th inst. In May, 1885, he was at
tackled with very painful breaking out of
the skin. We called in physician. who
treated him for about four weeks The
child received little or no good from the
treatment, a. the breaking out, suppnsed by
the pllysician to be hives in an aggravated
form, became larger in blotches. and more
and more distressing. We were frequently
obliged to get up in the night and rub him
with soda in water, strong iniments, etc.
Finally, we called other physicians, until
no less than six had attempted to cure him,
all alike failing. and the child steadily get
ting worse and worse, until about the 2Oth
of last July, when we began to give him
CUTIcuRA REsoLvENT internally, and the
CuTIcuRA, and CUTICURA Soar externally,
and by the last of August he was so nearly
well that we gave him only one dose OF the
REsoLvENT about every second day for
about ten days longer, and he has never
been troubled s,nee with the horrible mala-
dy. In all we used less than one half OF
bottle of CuTIcURA REsoLvENT, and a little
less than one box of CUTIcURA, and only one
cake of CUTIcURA Soar.

Do WE LIVE LONGER,


There is good reason to believe
that the averave American of this
last quarter of the nineteenth cen
tury is longer lived than his ances-
tors of the last century. The most
casual reader cannot fail to have
been struck with frequent notices
in the daily papers of men AID
women who have lived well on
into the nineties, and promise well
to become centenarians. The
best medical opinion of the day is,
that the average duration of hu-1
man life is not only being made
longer, by reason of the improved
diet and better sanitary conditions
of these latter days, but that it is
capable of being still further,
lingthened by still greater improve
ments in our ways and means of
living.-Boston Globe.

from her son Tom announcing his
to a young lady who
painted portraits. If she'd only
been a dressmaker or a milIiner
it would have been different, but
painting Mrs. Merkle believed to
be synonymous with worthlessness.
And she wrote Tom words to that
effect, saying that he might as well
have chosen circus rider while
he was about it.
A few days after that a well
built girl of twenty entered Mrs.
Merkle's front yard and presented
her with note. It was from
Tom, and in it he said he would
not bring his wife to see her nm
til invited, since she felt SO put out
about his MARRIAGE, but as she was
in need of good help he sent down
