CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by CuticUra.

Last year, after having my little.
girl treated by very prominent ply
stefan for an obstinate case of eczema,
l resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the al.
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip--
tion and relied entirely on the Cuti-.
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Gu,
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six 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, and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas.

We lowered him gently to the
ground and the rapidly drifting snow
received him in its soft embrace and
covered him over like a shroud.

was quiet for the night and MacArdel
had retired to his room, | called Bobbs

Suddenly, and with a mulfied sob,

distorted arms toward the window,

YOU'D better not try to bring three
people back through the drifts" said
the doctor, who had just come in for
a bite and a cup of coffee. You can't
drive two horses to advantage in this
weather, and if you insist upon going
why don't you take my mare and cut
ter and go alone? She's been in the
stable all day and she knows every
inch of the road, so if you just give
her her head she'll bring you through
all right. You'd better take my storm
coat and gloves, too, for you'll find the
wind pretty cold after you've been in

Although | had but two miles or
Whereabouts 10 travel from the house
to the railway station | made an early
start and had the horse at the door
before ten o'clock. The doctor came
down to see me off and gave me few
parting words OF advice.
AS opened the door 1t was almost
blown out of my hand by the force of
the wind and great sheets of snow and
sleet came sailing in, under the prote-
cochere and half way down the hall.
| bundled myself up in the doctors
great fur coat and surrounded myself
with his rings and then, bowling my
head to the fury of the gale | did as

after putting my horse in the stable
and blanketing her comfortably in ac-
cordance with the doctors instruc-
tions, | returned to the station and
paced restlessly up and down the wait
ing room, now and then peering anx-
iously through the frost-coated win
dows in a childlike way, as if my eyes
could penetrate the blackness of the
night and see for miles down the
track
Finally as the time for its arrival
drew near, one of the station men,
with that intuition so frequently OBJ
served and so incomprehensble to the
average individual suddenly picked
up a lantern and strobe out on the
platform. The heavy rumble of the
oncoming locomotive and the faint
squeal of its whistle struck my ears
at the same instant and, looking out,
saw its single bleary eye cleaning
dimly in the distance as it plowed on>
through the whirling sleet.
l was about to go out on the plat
form myself when the station master
called me to the telephone and the
doctor at CarpeyCroft said hurriedly;
81 suppose the train is late but get
MacArdel here as soon as you can If
you want him to see her alive. 1t

There was a snap and "a buzzing
sound for an instant and | knew that
the wire was down.
In another moment MacArdel was
by my side, and as soon as we could
get the lantern lighted and the mare
out of the stable We started on our
wild drive to Carney-Croft.
