My little boy was afflicted with Eczema in
acute form for nearly n year, during which
time We tried without success, II not every
known remedy, at least q sufficient number to
become thoroughly alarmed. Remedies that
proved ethcacious FOR others had no apparent
effect upon the child. The disorder appeared
on the right check and was of a hlisfery and
bloody form. His pillow, mornings, would
bear the bloody imprint OF the side of his
face, while it was impossible to prevent the
little fellow from scratching his face, owing
to the intensity Of the itching. Being adj
vised to try CUrICURA, l purchased box. The
first application was made before putting the
child TO bed at night, and the statement may
be doubted, but It is nevertheless fact, that
the appearance of the slfec,ed Parts showed
a Roticed6is improvement Ms Eert EaorainQ.
Continued use OF CUTICURA fully demon
strated its success, and as result my child
has as fair aud smooth skin as can be found
any where. We used every local application,
bottle after bottle of blood medicines, all to
no purpose. IL was only when CuTICURA was
used did he find relief. These facts can DO

TIE old commander regarded the SOL
der with a searching look, admiration
beaming from his eyes In the young
mans clear, unfinchtng gaze he saw
evidence of the courage Of the lion,
courage that would not waver in the
face OF any danger. His hatred OF the
humble private was intense, for he had
dared to look upon his daughter With
ewes Of love, yet that daughters lite
was now at stake, qnd he realized thai
her rescue depended perhaps wholly
upon the efforts Of the man he SO de-
spised. It was doubtful If a 1nan in all
that garrison could be found who would
take his life III his hands and go upon a
mission SO f1aught with deadly peril.
