CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent ply
stefan for an obstinate case of eczema,
l resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip-
ton and relied entirely on the Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Gu
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely well, and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble.
In July Of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were a
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas,

GIFT NOT ALL A GIFT.
Generosity That Was Purely the Re-
suit of Accident.

A missionary bishop told this story
about F. Marion Crawford, the famous
novelist:
"Mr. Crawford went to school, he
said, Gin Concord, and one day he was
taken to call at a Concord clergy
mans.
"The clergyman had a missionary
box on his drawing room table, and,
time hanging heavily on the boys
hands, he amused himself with try
ing whether silver dollar-it was
all the money he had in the world,
and he had converted it into that gil
gantic coin for safety-would go into
the slit in the box's top.
1T was a close fit, but unfortunate
ly it did go, and the coin slipped out
of the embryo authors fingers. There
was a terrible crash of silver falling
among the coppers-and then the boy,
as the novelists say, knew no more
when he came to himself he found
the clergyman and his family in rap
lures over his generosity"
