CHILDREN TORTURED.

Last year, after having my little

the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians

weeks we had her completely well.
and there has been no recurrence of
the trouble.
In July of this year little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cutlcura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment. and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolvent. In
about three weeks his hands and
arms healed up. So we have lots OF
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu.

HEREDlTY is NOT ALL.
Physicians Now Believe Less in Trans

Medical men are coming round to
the view that it is the personal his
tory that is of primary Importance, or,
in other words, that mans own man

his circumstances should be more
carefully considered than the illnesses
that his ancestors died Of DR.. Rabag-
Iiati, medical examiner for insurance
companies, who is well known in the
profession which he adorns, and Of
high repute in the north of England,
has devoted much thought to this
question of heredity from life insur-
ance point of view. In his opinion 1t
is not so much disease that is trans
mitted from one generation to an
other, but organization, or human
lty," as he expresses it. Any member
of the human family may suffer from
any disease to which humanity is sub
ject, and when an individual so suffers
It is the cause Of the ailment that
must be inquired into. Exposure to
this or that set of conditions brings
varying results. If the body Is exposed
to one set of conditions it will take
