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

Our little girl. one year and half
old, was taken with eczema or that
was what the doctor called it. We
took her to three doctors but by this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. One morning we dis
covered a little yellow pimple on one
of her eyes. Doctor No. 3 said that we
had better take her to some eye spe-
cialist. since II was an ulcer. So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. 4. and
he said the eyesight was gone. We
were nearly discouraged but thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment,
so l purchased a set of Cuticura Rem
edies, which cost me 81, and in three
days our daughter. who had been sick
about eight months, showed great i'm
provement, and in one week all sores
had disappeared. OF course it could
not restore the eyesight. but If we had
used Cuticura in time | am confident
that it would have saved the eye.

IN A POLAR WINTER.
Cold Not So Oppressive, But Dizziness
Is Appalling.

During the Polar winter the aver
age thickness of ice on the ocean,
when no strong tides interfere,
reaches six feet or more, Nansen
found thickness of over eight feet.
Even in the long summer days
snow tails frequently.
Sunset and sunrise colors within
the Polar zones are extraordinarily
brilliant and impressive. The North
Polar summer is in some respects a
pleasant and healthful season, but
the Polar night is monotonous, de-
pressing, repelling. An everlasting
uniform snow covering, rigidity, life
lessness, silence-except for the
cracking of the ice or the howl of the
gale.

lures are easily borne II the air is dry
