tieura Drove Sores Away.

"Our little girl, one year and q 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 little yellow pimple on one
of her eyes. Doctor No. said that we
had better take her to some eye spe-
cialist, since 1t was an ulcer. So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, 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 it could
not restore the eyesight, but IL we had
used Cuticura in time am confident
that it would have saved the eye.

cred the slave power abject service in
ting forth statements Of facts which he
could not possibly believe to be true.
and constitutional doctrines that could
be supported only by the most au-
dacious shifts OF logic. He was mind
full of the fact that he owed the prest-
dency to the trust OF the slave power
In his fidelity to Its behests. So far he
had justified that trust to the full OF
| his ability and Of his opportunities.
| No southern pro-slavery fanatic could
have served the slave holding interest
! with more zeal and-considering his

self denial. BY FORGETTING the good

made himself a martyr to the cause OF
