EXPERIENCE
In the Treatment Of HumOuTS
with More Than Magical
Effect with
CUTICURA REMEDIES.
A Remarkable Testimonial from
a Most Intelligent and
h Trustworthy Lady.

A tumor came on my neck and in q
day or two It was as large as half an
orange. l was very much alarmed for
fear It was malignant. My friends
tried to persuade me TO consult my
physician; but dreading that be would
Insist on using the knife, would nos
consent to go. Instead, got Cuticurs
Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment. I
took the former according to direc-
tions, and spread a thick layer OF the
Ointment on the swelling. On renew
ing It / would bathe my neck in very
warm water and Cuticura Soap. In a
few days the Cuticura Ointment bad
drawn the swelling TO head, when 1t
broke. Every morning it was opened
with large sterilized needle, squeezed
and bathed, and fresh Ointment put
on. Pus and blood, and yellow,
cheesy, humorous matter came out. In
about three or four weeks time this
treatment completely eliminated the
tumor. The soreness that had ex-
tended down into my chest was all
gone, and my neck now seems TO be
perfectly we'll.
"Ahout flve or six years ago my sis.
Ter had a similar experience, used the
Cuticura Remedies with magical effect.

monial, with the further privilege OF

ST. LOUIS, July 9.-At 6 O'Clock
this morning after ten hours ses-
sion Judge A. B. Parker Of New York
was nominated for president by the
National Democratic convention. He
was an easy winner and had an over
whelming majority on the first ballot.
The convention then adjourned un-
til 2 p. m. when 1t is expected that
George Turner Of Washington state
will be nominated for vice president
as that is the slate plan. =
The night was put in mostly with
speeches. The various candidates
were nominated with from one to
half dozen speeches each and after
each one the friends Of the man named
marched and yelled and raised merry
cain for quarter Of an hour.
The demonstration was for the pur-
pose Of putting little life into the
start Of the campaign.
Bryan took his whipping Of yester-
day good naturedly and gave no indi-
cation but that he will support the
ticket.

cation from Bourke Cochran, dated In
dianapolis. July 10. explaining hi
declination to address the nationa

II left st. Louis Saturday at 12:4I

did not want to be in the convention
when nominations for vice president
were reached.
Calls for me to make q speech which
had been made repeatedly on prior
days. would very likely be renewed at

could not tTuthfully assure the conven-
ton that Judge Parker had in my
opinion the faintest prospect Of success.

a public platform anything which l
would not repeat In the witness chair.

would not foretell defeat Silence was
therefore the only course open
and the best way to pursue It was by
absence.
When | reached Indianapolis I was

ply informing me Of Judge Parker's
message to Gov. Sheehan and urging
me to return Immediately"
In an instant the whole situation
was changed The prospect which had
been black with signs Of disaster at
once became splendid with promises
Of victory. For many months had
been preaching that the success Of the
democratic party this year involved
the continuance Of constitutional gov

was expressed In the resolution sub
