ECZEMA ON
LITTLE Girl
SIeepIesS Nights for Mother
and Awful Suffering
Of Child.
CURED BY CUTICURA
Had Given up All Hope Of Ever
Making Any Cure.

"My little girl has been suffering for
two years or more from eczema. snd
during that time 1 could not get a
nights sleep, as her ailment was very
severe.
q had tried so many remedies and
spent much money, deriving no bene-
fit, / had absolutely given up all hope
Of making any cure. But as a last re-
sort was persuaded to try a set CT the
Cuticura remedies, and TO my great
delight a marked change was maui
tested from the first application. l
gave the child a bath with Cuticura
Soap, using a soft piece Of muslin cloth.
This / did twice a day, each time fol-
lowing with the Cuticura Ointment,
and at the same time gave the Resoi-
vent, according to directions. One box
OF the Ointment aud two bottles Of the
Resolvent, together with the Soap,
effected a permanent cure. I submit
this for publication If You desire, hop
ing II will add to your success and assist
so many thousands of sufferers In cnr-
ing therlAelves." Mrs. l. B. JONES.
ADDINGToN, IND. T.
The first step in the treatment of the
chronic forms is to remove the scales
and crusts and soften the skin, by
warm baths with Cuticura Soap. The
scalp, ears, elbows, hands, ankles and
feet will require frequently a thorough
soaking in order to penetrate the thick
ened skin and crusts with which these
parts are often covered. Dry care
fully, and apply Cuticura Ointment,
lightly at first. and where advisable
spread 1t on pieces Of soft cloth and
bind in place. Take the Resolvent,
pills, or liquid, in medium doses. Do
not use cold water In bathing, and
avoid cold, raw winds.

enough goods to replenish our stock
Il never dreamed there was such a
number of boys interested in any news
paper in Spokane. They received a

brought which was suitable for use
and there were over 5000 coupons CIV
en- out by lis for articles supplied. Yes.
terday they were bringing in their
goods at the front door and at the rear

them. / think there were so boys in
line at one time yesterday waiting to
have their packages inspected and to
receive the Press coupons for which
they are working so hard.
One boy remained away from school
Yesterday, hired an express wagon and
brought his goods in by the load. What
he brought was valuable stuff, too, He
alone brought us 200 desirable articles
for our rummage sale. 1t is astonish-
ing what an interest there is in that
contest.
1--WE had to lock the doors this morn
ing after our big sale yesterday in
order to rearrange our remaining stock
and care for the goods we received
from the boys. We are to open again
this afternoon at l:30 o'clock and will
continue the sale until o'clock this
evening and probably will reopen again
