Grateful Mother Says;
"CUTICURA REMEDIES A
HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

"Last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent physi-
clan for an obstinate case Of eczema,
/ resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that we
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills.
When we commenced with the Cuti-
cura 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 a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
amounting them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, 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
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are q valuable
household standby living as we do

Mrs. c. w. Stump of Canton, Ohio,
writes 81 wish could induce every
mother who has a weak, siciSly child to
try that delicious cod liver preparation
Vlnol. Our little daughter was pale, thin
and sickly.
1--WE tried various medicines, but with
out any benefit whatever, and she could
not take cod liver oil or emulsions, as
they nauseated her and upset her stom-
ach.
Learning that Vinol contains all the
medicinal and strength creating proper
ties of cod liver oil, but without the dis
agreeable oil, we decided to try It, and
the results were marvellous so quickly
was she restored to health and strength
1--WE have never sold medicine equal
to Vinol for delicate children

Planning for Town Meeting.

There is some little excitement in re-
gard to town officers in view of the near
ness of town meeting, and a paper Is
being circulated, and largely signed, ask
ing the present board of selectmen to
allow their names to run for the office
another year. Several others have been
mentioned, but as the present board has
given general satisfaction, a change
seems undesirable, and although they
have expressed unwillingness to again
assume the responsibilities, it is hoped
that 1t is not a settled determination.
