CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent ply
sician for an obstinate case of &C.
zema, resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edies, and was so we'll pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs We're covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurence of
the trouble.
In July of this year a little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
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 Ointment, 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 Gu
ticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do

Trouble Ahead.

The trustees of the public library at
Maiden, Mass, announce that they
will not put in circulation a novel
which decent woman may not read
to decent man without blushing." AS
this is standard of excellence which
cannot be applied a priori, it may be
necessary to appoint a committee to
exercise the novel censorship. The
difficulty Of finding a decent man will
be equalled only by that of submitting
decent woman to such an ordeal,
says the New York Post The latter
might, after time, grow hardened
and maintain deathly pallor while
reading aloud from dubious works. It
would not always be easy to distin-
guish blush of modesty from what
novelists call flush of vexation." :"
The man might even blush while the
woman remained pale, and, lastly, the
blushing might be caused not by the
book, but by the presence of the man.
