HEAD SOLID SORE
Awful Suffering Of Baby and
SIeepless Nights Of
Mother.
CURED BY CUTICURA

Writes Mother.

eel herewith write out in full the be-
ginning and end Of that tterrible disease
eczema" says Mrs. VIM. Ryer, Elk
River, MINI, (which caused my babe
untold suffering and myself many
sleepless nights. My babe was born
seemingly a fair. healthy child, but
when she was three weeks old a swell
ing appeared on the back of her head,
and in course of time broke. II did
not heal but grew worse, and the sore
spread from the size of dime to that
OF dollar. l used all kinds of RENEE
dies that could think of, but nothing
seemed to help; in fact, il grew worse.
Her hair fell out where the sore was,
and feared il would never crow again.
II continued until my aged father came
on a visit, and when he saw the baby
he told ME to get Cuticura Soap and
Ointment right away.
"To please him did so, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over II, and
to-day she has q nice head of hair, her
skin is as fair as a lily, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful sore, aud
It is over eight months and no sign of
its returning"

A Massachusetts Democrat.

Patrick A. Collins was another man who
in his career illustrated the fact that the
republic Is opportunity. The list Is long,
but his is an honorable name on 1t. He
rose from penury. and rapidly. From car
peEter's bench to a lawyers office. and
from there to the field of politics. he had
success all along the line by force of talent
and character and industry. Dead at sixty
one. he was the foremost democrat in New
England with the possible exception of
Richard Olney His party which had re-
pcatedly honored him, will miss him.
Considerable as Mr.. Collins success was.
however, he never reached the highest Of
flee In his state. He would have made an
excellent governor. His gifts We're superior
to those of William E. Russell who was
three times elected, and to those OF William
l. Douglas. who is now filing the place.
But Massachusetts Is eccentric on the sub
ject of democrats She takes them at un-
expected times. and in way and for rea-
sons that surprise the successful candidates
themselves quite as much as anybody else.
And so it was that Mr.. Douglas, without
experience in politics, or particular capa-
city for Office. was the governor of the Bay
state at the time that Mr.. Collins. with an
equipment equal to the highest office in the
country, was merely the mayor of Boston.
Inhospitable as New England has been
