ssMy niece's little baby boy, two years
old, was so badly afflicted with eczema
that he needed constant watching. It
was all over his face and he scratched
the sores constantly. Mornings his
clothes would be stained with blood,
and his face and hands would be COW
cred. His family never could take him
out, as his face was always full of large
sores. They had medical treatment,
and tried everything they heard of.
She commenced using the Cuticura
Remedies last spring and found that at
last she had g wonderful healer. The
sores left his face and he was entirely
cured, and now his face is as smooth
and rosy as though no sore had ever
been there to mar it."

Her breathing soft and low,
As in her breast the wave or life
Kept surging to and fro;
So silently we seemed TO speak,
So slowly moved about,
AS we had lent her half our powers
To exc her being out
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied,
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
For when the morn came dim and sad,
And chill with early showers,
Her quiet eyelids closed, she had
