scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies Fruitless-Suf-
fered 10 Years-CompieteIy Cured
by Three Boxes OF Cuticura.


Small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs and shortly afterwards both of
those limbs became so sore that l could
scarcely walk. The sores began to heal,
but small, scay eruptions appeared. The
itcnlng Was 30 severe that | would scratch
the sores until the blood began to flow.
After l suffered thus about ten years l
made renewed effort to effect ure.
The eruptions by this time had appeared
on every part of my body except my face
and hands. The best doctor in my native
county and many remedies gave no relief.
Finally my hair began to fall out and
was rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything else,
| thought l would try Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap. After using three
boxes was completely cured, and my hair
was restored, after fourteen years of suf-
fering and an expenditure of at least $50 to
$50 IN vainly endeavoring to find cure.

proceeded in the direction from
which the sounds had come. we
broke suddenly into q clearing In the
forest, around which stood q gr9 j
of stout camphor-trees.
Fastened to the trees by thick
ropes were the tattered remnants Of
what once had been human beings.
How savagely they had been mangled
shall refrain from telling you. /
knew at once the history of that
tragedy. And even as the thought
flashed through my mind the tai pan
uttered it in words.
Tigers he whispered. Tigers
Some of the ma foos were men,
bers Of the Black Brotherhood, but
they all shuddered at the frightful
sight that confronted us. I put them
all to work burying the dead, and
while they were at this task counted
the bodies. There were fifty-eight
of them.
'.The tai pan came running across
the clearing.
Master he cried, one of them
is still living
Impossible as this seemed, I has
tened to where group of the men
were gathered around a wretched
creature on the ground I gave the
poor torn one big drink of rice
cordial (samshu), and within a few
moments he revived enough to talk.
There were one hundred OF us
in rebellion against the Prince Wal
Ko Ling, he said, s'and he defeated
us in q great battle, and made fifty
eight prisoners. He gave an order,
and we were led into this forest and
tied to the trees. That was at the
tenth hour of yesterday. All day
long we stood still, dashed to the
strong trees, our bodies bruised by
the ropes as we struggled to get
free, our threats parched by thirst.
At nightfall the tigers came.
Many tigers. We could see them
far off at first, walking about and
flashing their tails, and always COM
ing little nearer. When it was
quite dark we could see their yellow
eyes moving in the darkness, always
creeping little nearer. Some of
our men went mad. They cried out
like tigers-as much like tigers as
they could
For time the beasts were
frightened by the cries, for they
feared trap. But at last one tiger
plunged boldly through our circle
and into the open space. Then an
other and another. The place was
full of tigers. We could not see
them clearly, but their eyes were
blazing like torches, and we could
make out great mass of bodies
twisting and leaping over one an
other. They purred like cats.
One tiger suddenly charged out
of the mass and leaped upon my
brother. - My lord, he was dead at
the first blow. Then another and
another leaped and struck. What
could we do but cry out? We are
only men. I saw a great beast leap
ing at me, and knew no more until
you, my lord, gave me life out of a
cup
My friends, that man died as he
was speaking to US. / suppose the
tiger that struck him left him to
prey upon larger man with more
flesh, and that is why he survived
SO long. We buried all the victims,
and hurried away. The tigers con-
tinued to follow us until we crossed
a great river. I hope never to look
upon a tiger again. From Har-
