CAME NEAR DYING
From an Awful Skin Humour.
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Wasted to Skeleton.
CURED RYcUTlcURA
One Application Soothed Him to
Sleep. Cure Speedy
and Permanent.

"When my little boy was about three
months old his head broke out with 8
rash, which was very itchy and ran con-
siderable watery fluid. We tried every
thing we could, but he gotwo all the
time till it spread to his arms, legs, and
then to his entire body, and he got so
bad that he came near dying. The rash
would itch so that he would scratch till
the blood ran, and a thin yellowish stuff
would be all over his pillow in the morn
ing. L had to put mittenS on his hands
to keep him from tearing his skin around
his wrists. He got so weak and run
down that he took fainting spells like
we would think him dying. He was al
most a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies |
had not laid him down in his cradle in
the daytime for long time. He had
got so that he just slept in our arms all
the time. washed him with Cuticura
Soap and put on one application of
Cuticura Ointment and he was so
soothed that l put him in the cradle.
You don't know how glad felt when he
felt better. Ittook one box of Cuticura
Ointment, pretty near one cake OF Cuti-
cura Soap, and about half a bottle of
Cuticura Resolvent, to cure. L think
our little boy would have died only for
the Cuticura Remedies, and l shall al
ways remain firm friend of them"
Mrs. NJ. G. MAITLAND, JASPER,
ONTARIO.
No return in IA years. Mrs. Maitland
writes, under date of Feb. "a, 1908, that
the cure is permanent.
ut affords me much pleasure to in
form you that it is fourteen years since
my boy was cured of the terrible skin
disease from which he suffered.
"He has been permanently cured and
is hearty and strong"

Walt Whitman, a. n JournaII.t.

Walt Whitman was not much OF q
Journalist He hal too much repose.
His employers called it laZiness. He
was concerned witIa.permanences. The
nearer to nature. the more repose.
Trees and hills dos not dance except

man is a clearer mAHmOry than in the
office of its contemporary. Yet it is
oddly hard 10 secure facts. There is a
general and joking reference TO his

ing to that narrator, he was an easy
borrower though it does not appear
that he asked for large amOunts or
made needless delays in his repay
ments.-Charles NJ. Skinner in Allan
