THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE.
Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch
-Cuticura Remedies Cured at Cost
of Seventy-Five Cents.

'My little boy, when only an infant
of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and light dress is all he could wear.
1 called one of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered so terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die. / had almost given up hope
when lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuti-
cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day l commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost me 75c, and
would have gladly paid 800 if l could
not have got it cheaper. 1 feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. He is now boy of five
years. Mrs. Zana Miller, Union City,

WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.

Taken When the First Warning Symp-
toms Are Noticed Much Needless
Suffering May Be Saved.
Are you troubled with pallor, loss of
spirits, waves of heat passing over the
body, shortness of breath after slight
exertion, a peculiar skipping of the
heart beat, poor digestion, cold extremi-
ties or feeling of weight and fullness?
Do not make the mistake of thinking
that these are diseases in themselves
and be satisfied with temporary relief.
This is the way the nerves give warn
ing that they are breaking down. 1t
simply means that the blood has become
impure and cannot carry enough nourish-
ment to thernerves to keep them healthy
and able to do their work
Rest, alone, will sometimes give the
needed relief. The tonic treatment by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, however, pre-
vents the final breakdown of the nerves
and the more serious diseases which
follow, because the pills act directly
upon the impure blood, making it rich,
red aSd pure.
Mrs. E. @. Bradley, of 1o3 Parsells
avenue, Rochester, N. Y, says:
81 was never very healthy and some
years ago, when in a rundown condi-
ton, / suffered nervous shock, caused
by a misfortune to friend It was so
great that was untitled for work.
81 was just weak, low-spirited and
nervous. could hardly walk and could
not bear the least noise. My appetite
was poor and 1 did not care for food. 1

weeks got scarcely an hours sleep. I
had severe headaches most of the time
and pains in the back and spine.

under the care of one of them for six
months. I got no relief and then de-
cided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
soon began to feel better and the i'm
provement was general. Ny appetite
became hearty and my sleep better.
The headaches all left and also the pains
in my back. A few more boxes entirely
cured me and was able to go back to
work. 1 felt splendid and as though
had never been sick.''
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are invaluable
in such diseases as rheumatism, after
effects of the grip and fevers, neuralgia,
st. Vitus' dance and even partial
paralysis and locomotor ataxia
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
