Ious Cure BY cutlours,

when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went 70 another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went TO a third one. Mat
ters became 30 bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks, large enough
to put a finger into. The food had to
be given with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusta as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid In his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. think his face must
have itehed most fearfully.
we finally thought nothing could
help, and had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child TO Bu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw q miracle. A
friend Of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolyent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided Improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared It also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely wen,
and his skin was smooth and white
as never before. F. Hohrath, Presi-

PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and
Cream.

A Mass. physician has found cure
for constipation in children = citing
fifteen cases-by feeding them Grape
Nuts.
Some time ago." he writes, II be-
came interested I'm your food, Grape
Nuts, as a cure for constipation In
children. Having tried it In my own
family, have advised it in fifteen
cases in which all suffered with con.
stipation more or less severe. The re.
suit has been absolute relief in all.
I write this that other children
may be benefited"
How much better It is thus to bring
about a healthy action In the bowels
of growing children by natural means,
than to feed them with improper food
requiring some kind of eathartic al
intervals to overcome constipation.
Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en-.

traction and relaxation OF the bowel
