do you wonder that our great liners,
with their elevators and telephones

but it failed to do so, and very re-
markable were some of the shots made

"For a long time | suffered with
sores on the hands which were itching,
painful, and disagreeable. had three
doctors and derived no benefit from
any of them. One doctor said he was
afraid to touch my hands, so you
must know how bad they were; an
other said l never could be cured; and
the third said the sores were caused
by the dipping of my hands in water
in the dye-house where l work. I
saw in the papers about the wonderful
cures of the Cuticura Remedies and
procured some of the Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment. In three
days after the application of the
Cuticura Ointment my hands began
to peel and were better. The sore
ness disappeared, and they are now
smooth and clean, and l am still

In the first months Of the Russia

of the necessity for preparation and
the early advantage Of those who, so

tion has made history and given to
us our greatest men, The individual

pared for any emergency. Are you
prepared to successfully combat the

treated much more quickly when
