AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow Sores-Grew
Worse-Parents Discouraged-Cu-
ticura Drove Sores Away.

"Our little girl, one year and half
old, was taken with eczema or that
was what the doctor called 1t. We
took her TO three doctors but by this
time she was nothing but a 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 II was an ulcer. So We
went to Oswego to doctor No. A, and
he said the eyesight was gone. We
were nearly discouraged, but thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment,
so purchased a 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
provement, and in one week all sores
had disappeared. OF course IL could
not restore the eyesight, but If we had
used Cuticura in time l am confident
that it would have saved the eye.

Switzerland is the only country in

ahead of all other animals. and even
of human beings. If boy plaques
a goat he can be fined and sent to Jail.
If a person meets a goat on path,
and drives him aside he can be arrest

II a goat enters the yard of person
not his owner and is hit with club or

Courtesy at Home.

We are all creatures of habit
men and women alike. and the habits
and surroundings of daily life have a
powerful influence on the character OF
both. The root of all bad manners is
selfishness; when self ever is first, fore
most consideration for others always
lags much in the rear. and drops SO
far behind in time that 1t disappears
altogether. "One cannot keep up the
ceremony and etiquette of societ.
when at home" True, for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the r!vets that keep so
ciety together, but not tesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
be so much the habit with each OF us
that ii will become our second nature
and therefore can be no more laid
aside than can ar arm or leg.
