MASS OF SORES
Awful Suffering Of Little Boy
from an Itching HumOuT
CURED BY CUTICURA
Not One Square Inch Of Skin on
His Whole Body Unaffected

"My little son, aboy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. AT the
time 1 was induced to try C~uticura
he was so bad that 1 had to cut his
hair off and put the Cuticura ONT
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. Hewason e mass of sores.
The bandages used to stick to his skin
and in removing them it used to take
the skin off with them, and the screams
from the poor child were heart-break.
ing. / began to think that he would
never get well, but after the second
application of Cuticura Ointment 1
began to see signs of improvement,
and with the third and fourth appli-
cations the sores commenced to dry
up. His skin peeled off twenty times,
but it finally yielded to the treatment.
Now / can say that he is entirely
cured, and a stronger and healthier
boy you never saw than he is to-day.''

as per request. Mr.. Ryan's action
doubtless disposes of the matter of a
site.
One of the conditions of the factory
people is that a site, consisting of 100
acres of choice land, must be donated
free of cost. Mr.. Parkinson indicated
that the quarter section belonging to
the DAILY estate. adjoining Riverview

would be acceptable.

price of 500 per acre and generously

donation should prove a substantial
inducement to the factory people as
this land if placed upon the market
would easily bring 5000 per acre.
