HEMORRHO|DS S0RESANDE ECZEMA
Accompanied by Terrible Itching- AComplicated and Most Distress ing Case WeII-known Remedies Failed to Cure-Doctor Thought an Operation Necessary-Then
CUTICURA PROVED ITS
 WONDERFUL EFFICACY

"I am now eighty years old and one morning, three years ago, l was taken with a hard pain in my right side. In two days I had an attack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding. The doctor gave me some medicine and an ointment for them which helped me some but had to keep using them all the time. Then changed to the p remedy; but if I did not use it every day, I would get worse. The doctor said the only help for me was to go to . hospital and be operated on. At this time, about year ago, I went to using the S- remedies. tried them for four or five months but did not get much help for my piles. During this of my body. They bothered me all the time. 1 would get one healed and another would come. These sores changed to eczema, accompanied by a terrible itching. It seemed as if I could not keep my hands from tearing my flesh. This and the pile trouble brought on an infiamed condition. Then I got the Cuticura Remedies. I washed the affected parts with Cuticura Soap and warm water in the morning, at noon, and at night, then used Cutf- cura Ointment on the irritated sur faces and injected a quantity of Cuti- cura Ointment with a Cuticura Sup pository Syringe. l also took Cuti- cura Resolvent Pills three times day. It took a month of this treatment to get me in a fairly healthy state and then I treated myself once a day for three months and, after that, once or twice week. It is fortunate that I used Cuti- cura. The treatments I had tried took lot of money that would have saved by using Cuticura Remedies sooner, but I am wiser now. I am supplied with Q full set of the Cuticura Remedies and would not feel safe. without them. J. H. Henderson, Hopkinton, St. Law renee Co.,. N. Y., Apr. 2o, 1907."

CITIZENS GUARD
 JAIL AND CHURCHES
RUMORS OF THREATENE VlO- LENCE IN PiCkENS COUNTY CAUSE SOME UNEASINESS. ELEVEN NEGROES HELD.

Carrollton, December 1S.-Scores of white citizens of Carrollton stood guard all of last night over the church and schools for negroes in this town and at the county jail. This action was due to reports that a mob of white men was coming to Carrollton to take the negroes, who melted the trouble at Gordo, from jail and lynch them. It was also said that tho church and school houses would be burned There appears to be no foundation for the reports and the citi- zens of Carrollton declare that the rumors were due to exaggerated reports sent to some newspapers
 The 24 negroes held in jail here were given preliminary trials today. Eleven were held for further investigation and 12 were released from custody.
