AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow Sores-Grew
Worse-Parents Discouraged-cu-
ticura Drove Sores Away.

"Our little girl, one year and a
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called it.
We called in the family doctor, and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in a few days.
The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she
were through she would be all right
But she still grew worse. Doctor
No. 8 said it was eczema. BY this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
a week. One morning we discovered
= little yellow pimple on one Of
her eyes. OF course We 'phoned for
doctor No. 3. He came over and
looked her over, and said that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since it was
an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to
doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could
help it. We thought we would try
doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged. saw one Of the Cuti-
cura advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuttcura
Treatment, SO went and purchased
q set Of Cuticura Remedies, which
cost me 81, and in three days our
daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had
disappeared. OF course it could not
restore the eyesight, but If we had
used Cuticura in time I am confident
that It would have saved the eye: We
think there is no remedy so good for
any skin trouble or impurity Of the
blood as Cuticura. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank

Two Pages Of Dr.. Taft's Diary.

The standard biographies of Lin
coin and the newspapers of 1865 make
brief mention of DR.. Taft as being
present at the presidents death and
the autopsy. There can be no doubt
of the genuineness of the notes. The
house on Twenty-second street former
1y occupied by DR.. Taft, is now a
boarding house, and, the doctors name
is unknown to the present occupant.
Some of the older residents in the
neighborhood, however, remember him,
but indistinctly.
DR.. Taft begins his memoranda of
the great tragedy in these words:
s'Notes of the circumstances attend
: ing the assassination of Abraham Lin
coin, president of the United States,
on the evening of April II, 1865, as
witnessed by me; also the medical
notes of my attendance on the presi-
dent up to the time of his death and
of the post-mortem examination five
hours after death.
1.-THE notes were written April Is,
1855, at the earliest possible moment
after my attendance upon the presi-
~sdent and the post-mortem examina-

Dr.. William Pink Pills, Used After
the Grip, Arrest Fatal Decline and
Rebuild the System.
Any bodily weakness caused by
deficiency In the blood can be cured
by the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
because these pills actually make new
blood. After attacks of the grip the
blood is generally run down and the
patient continues to decline.
"About three years ago." says Mrs.
Jennie Cowan, of 718 N. Henry
Street, West Bay City, Mich, Il
caught severe cold, which ran into
for two weeks. At the end Of that
time was able to be about, but was
completely run down. I was so weak
l could hardly stand, my cheeks had
no color and felt faint. My heart
would flutter and it was difficult for
me to breathe at times. Neuralgia
settled in the back of my head and
stomach and I suffered from rheuma-
tism in my shoulders.
II had the care Of the best doctor
in town but became no better until
friend told me one day how she had
been cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and I decided to try them. I
soon felt better and continued using
them until was entirely cured. They
built me up again to perfect health
and I use them now whenever I feet
at all sick and they always help me"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are inval-
unable in such cases, as welt as In
other blood diseases, because they not
only drive off the germs Of the disease
but build up the system. The pills
have cured anaemia, rheumatism, af-
ter.effects of fevers, neuralgia and
many other severe disorders.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold
by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on
receipt Of price, so cents per box,
six boxes $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady. N. Y.

UNION CHURCH SERVICES.

A conference of representatives
from the Christian, Methodist and
Presbyterian churches, was held at
the M. E. church last Sunday after
noon. to confer on plans for union
services. Andrew Stewart presided
and S. G. Peterson was chosen sec
retary. 1t was decided upon to hold
union services Sunday evening in
the different churches during July
and August, the three congregations
uniting. Plans for further work in
the line of union evangelistic serv-
ices were discussed, and while no
definite time was arrived at, it was
agreed that such movement should
be inaugurated as soon as all of the
congregations could bring it about,
the other churches of the city to be
invited to join in the enterprise.
During the summer monthly prayer
meetings were determined upon, to
be announced later.

AN UNLUCkY FAMILY.

Lamberton Star
Last Monday evening Duncan
McTaggart, who resides north of
Lamberton, was badly injured in a
runaway. He had come to town
with a road grader to have it fixed,
and had started home when just out
side of town something seemed the
matter with one of horses and he got
off the grader, leaving the lines in
the hands Of his wife. The horses
started to run and in some manner
he was thrown down and received a
cut in the feshy part of his left thigh
about ten inches long and nearly FIVE
inches deep by the lay of the grader.
Luckily he was not killed. A doctor
sewed up the wound, and he stayed
in town several days. The family
have had bad luck with run-aways
the past few years. One boy was
badly nurt, next Mrs. McTaggart
had her scalp almost torn from her
head. and the accident now to Mr.
McTaggart.
