Strongly Recommends
Cuticura Remedies

81 used the Cuticua Remedies eight years ago
for my little boy who had ulcers in the eyes.
which resulted from vaccination. His face and
nose were in a bad state also. At one time we
thought he would lose his sight forever, and at
that time he was In the hospital for seven or
eight months and under specialists. The dis
charges from the eyes and nose were bad and
would have left scars, feel sure had 1t not been
for the free use Of the Cuticura Remedies. But
through 1t all we used the Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment and Resolvent, and lots Of it. and feel
grateful for the .beneft he received from them.
The Cuticma Resolvent seemed to send the trou-
bic out, the Ointment healed It outwardly. and
the Soap cleansed and healed both. He is en-
tirely cured now; but since then have bought
the Cuticura Resolvent to cleanse and purify the
blood and the Soap cannot speak too highly Of
as a cleansing and medicinal beautther. I. can
truthfully say the Cuticura Remedies are all they
are claimed to be-" -

derstood, was highly regarded in that COM
munity.

action at their next meetings condemning

Big schooners Visit This Port.

The fve-masted schooner James Pierce,
Capt. Vial. was yesterday brought up the
river by the tug William H. Yerkes, Jr.,
and locked at Alexandra, to unload about
1000 tons of acid phosphate at one Of the
fertilizer-making plants there. The Pierce
is the second big schooner to be brought up
the river this week, and is the first fve-
masted vessel to visit Alexandria. The
bringing of the f1ve-masted schooner Bar
rett to this city, and the Pierce to Alexan-
dria, very effectually disproves the state
ment, often made, that there Is not water
enough In the channels Of the Potomac to
allow 2.0OO-ton vessel to come to this city
The Washington pilots have always con-
tended that there is plenty OF water In the
river for any but the largest coasting
schooners to come here.
