BABY'SAWFULHUMOR
Eighteen Months Baby's intense Suffering. Could Only Sleep
 Under Opiates.
Thought Ear Would Slough Of Every Known Remedy Tried.
 Physicians Skill Bafifed.
Mother Distracted Tried the Cuticura Remedies. Noticed
 Relief in One Week.
PERFECT CURE IN TWO MONTHS
A SWORN STATEMENT.

When my little daughter, May, was eigh- teen months old, her head and face broke out in one solid mass of bleeding sores, and one of her ears was so affected, that the doc tor thought at one time that it would slough off. Her suffering was intense, getting no rest at all, unless under the influence of opI- ates. The physician tried every known rem edy, but seemed to be baffled, and instead of getting better, her head, face, and ear seemed to get worse all the time. Distracted with her condition, did not know what to do, until one day was advised to try CUTIcURA REMEDIES. I purchased the CUTIcURA RE- SOLVENT, SOAP, and OINTMENT, and persist ently used the remedies.
 Before the J7rst iceek noticed that the little s,1erer acds beginning to oct relief. l admin istered the REs0LvENT inwardly, when I bathed her with the SOAP and used the ONT MENw freely, and in Jess than ttco months my little darling was entirely cured and WeH, and she got as fat as 8 little pig. It is now over two years since that happy event took place, and not a symptom of the dreadful disease has ever returned. She is bright, and no marks whatever are to be seen from the effects. You are at liberty to use this as you see fit, and I will gladly answer any and all inquiries made to me with reference to the above stated facts. MRS.

dren. Finally when we did go to

SO much trouble. [ dreamed. that
Eli and had been rarried two or
three years, and our baby, big fat
boy, WAS terribly sick with cole. 1t
was midnight and bitterly cold, but
| walked the floor and sang to the
baby until [ was almost ready to
drop. / tried to wake Ell, but, man
like, ho snored right on. [ begged
him to get up and go for the doctor,
that our dnrling was terribly sick.
[ told him I bad done all | could;
had bathed him in hot water and
given him paregoric, but all to 10
avail; and that unless the poor little
follow got relief soon, he would sure
ly die; but Eli snored right on. He
didn't seem to care if BABY did die,
and didn't offer to help me the least
bit. In despair I hugged the poor
little thing to my breast and told
him papa WAS Il mean lazy ling an
didn't 'ove he little tootsy wootsy
baby like he mama did, aud then |
kissed him, when 'squaw-wow wown
and he gave mo scratch in the face
which woke me, and, girls, was
nursing the cat! Ycs, there I was in
my night dress, my hair down, the
lamp burning, parcguric spilled all
over my dressing table, and there
was the bowl of water where I had
bathed my baby, and there was the
cat dripping wet in my arms strug-
Cling to get away. With an ejacu-
lation of horror nnd dismay I threw
1t from me and turned to the bed to
SOC if Jane was awake. She was
gone! About that time the doctor,
brother Will and Jane all came in
Jane way crying: '""Ch! poor Mollie,
gone crazy, gono crazy, and it will

injected morphine or something in

But next day, and for several days,

had gone crazy spread like fire, and
people from far and near came to see
"the poor thing who had gone crazy
only two weeks before tho wedding

was valued nurse, and was ever
ready to render any needed service.
She was somewhat eccentric as old
maids generally are, and above every
thing in the world she hated = cat
the most. We young people liked
and respected her, but wero a little
shy of her too, for she never hesi-
