.SCALY ECZEMA ALL OVER BODY
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out-ScaIes and Crusts Formed
 Iowa Lady Has Great Faith in Cuticura Remedies for Skin .iseaseS. 5
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
 CURE BY CUTIGURA

CT had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck ana face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead Of going to a physician, purchased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only little lower; but before it had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuti- cura Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. 1t is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of return. l have taken about three bottles of the Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know how much of ths Soap or Ointment, as l always keep them with me; probably one half dozen of each.
 "I decided to give the Cuticura Rem edies, trial after 1 had seen the results of their treatment of eczema on an infant belonging to one of our nelgh- bors. The parent took the child to the nearest physician, but his treatment dio no good. So they procured the Cuticura Remedies and cured her with them. When they began using Cuticura Rem. edies her face was terribly dishgured with sores, but she was entirely cured. for I saw the same child at the age Of five wears. and her mother told me the eczema had never broken out since, l have more faith in Cuticura Remedies for akin diseases than anything know of. am, respectfully yours, Emma F.

EnSnaring Victims
steps Should be Taken at Once to Pre-
 vent Further Trouble.

Here in Montgomery, as in other cities and towns, dyspepsia or stomach troubles are ensnaring victims in a most insfdious way.
 Nearly every mothers son of us, and daughter, too, expects the stomach to accustom itself to all manner of ill., treatment. but the time comes when we cannot abuse 1t with impunity. How much better 1t would be to take steps at once to strengthen the stomach and prevent further trouble.
 Use Mi-o-na now and soothe the irri- tated walls of the stomach and strengthen the gastric follicles so that they will pour out their daily supply of digestive materials with regularity. Then the headaches, sleeplessness, specks before the eyes, poor appetite, tired feelings and nervousness will disappear. and you can eat what you want at any time you like.
 Mi-o-na is a combination of reme- dies, some of which are but little known in this country, and Is a positive guar anteed cure for all diseases of the stom- ach excepting cancer.
 Just one little tablet out of a 50-cent box before meals, for a few days, and you will soon regain perfect health and strength, and have no fear of indiges- tion or stomach troubles. Ask Mir. Fowler to show you the guarantee un-' der which he sells this remedy.
