AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow sores-Grew
Worse-Parents Diseouraged-cu-
ticura Drove Sores Away.

"Our little girl. one year and half
old, was taken with eczema or that
was what the doctor called it. We
took her to three doctors but by this
time she was nothing but yellow,
greenish sore. One morning we dis
covered a little yellow pimple on one
of her eyes. Doctor No. 8 said that we
had better take her to some eye spe-
cialist, since it was an ulcer. So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and
he said the eyesight was gone. We
were nearly discouraged, but l thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment,
so purchased set of Cuticura Rem
edies, which cost me 81, and in three
days our daughter, who had been sick
about eight months, showed great i'm
proyement, and in one week all sores
had disappeared. OF course it could
not restore the eyesight, but il we had
used Cuticura in time am confident
that it would have saved the eye.

QUICK REMEDIES FoR cRAMP.
Not Hard to Get Relief From This
Painful Affection. :.

Do your little growing folks wake
mp in the night with cramp in their
toes or legs? If SO, tell them to slide
down to the foot of the bed and press
their toes hard against the footboard.
This seldom falls to bring relief. Even
the tiniest tot can do this for herself
when she wakes up in alarm at the
big pain in her leg.
Should this fail, and sometimes
when the cramp is up by the knee, it
is not efficient, tell the sufferer to
press the sole of her cramped foot
against the instep OF the other. Press
good and hard, and the pressure, to-
gether with the warmth and electric
ity drawn from the well foot, will GER
tainly bring relief unless the case is
very stubborn. To treat the "knot-
ty," stubborn kind Of cramp, which

Rubbing, unless one knows just how

MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question Of Interest to All Caro-.
full Persons.

Arguments on food are interesting.
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought
of eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption Of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread, pastry,
etc., produces serious bowel troubles,
because the bowel digestive organs
(where starch is digested), are over
taxed and the food ferments, produc-
ing gas, and microbes generate in the
decayed food, frequently bringing on
peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form is
shown In the food ''Grape-Nuts," where
the starch is changed into form of
sugar during the process of its manu-
facture. In this way, the required
food is presented to the system in a
pre-digested form and is Immediately
made into blood and tissue, without
taxing the digestive organs.
A remarkable result in nourishment
is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly in physical and
mental strength. Why In mental?
Because the food contains delicate
particles of Phosphate Of Potash OBJ
tanned from the grains, and this unites
with the albumen of all food and the
combination is what nature uses to re-
build worn out cells in the brain.
This is q scientific fact that can be
easily proven by ten days use OF
