Perfect Cure by Cuticura.
MY three children had eczema for
i've months. A little sore would ap-
pear on the head and seemed very
itchy, increasing day after day. The
baby had had it about a week when
the second boy took the disease and
a few sores developed, then the third
boy took it. For the first three months
L took them to the N Dispensary,
and they told me that the children had
ringworm, but they did not seem to i'm

Remedies, and thought l would write
you about my case, and when l got the
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
l bathed the children's heads with
warm water and Cuticura Soar and
then applied the Cuticura Ointment. In
a few weeks they had improved. and
when their heads were we'll you could

SCIATIC TORTURE
A Locomotive Engineer Tells How
He Was Cured by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills

FINK flliS.
Pain that seems almost unbearable
is characteristic Of sciatic rheuma-
tism. In some cases the pain is
knife-like. sharp or shooting; in 9TH
ers it is dull and aching. Sciatica
is stubborn in resisting treatment and
the patient frequently suffers for
years This was the case with Mr..
Herbert E. Spaulding. locomotive
engineer on the Cincinnati, New Or
leans & Texas Pacific Railway, whose
home is at Longview, Texas.
While running an engine some
years ago." he says, q fell of and
hurt my knee and spine and l have
always considered this to be the cause
of my illness. The sciatica took hold
OF me from my heel to the back Of
my head. The pain was the worst
/ ever suffered in my life and my leg
and back were twisted out Of shape.
l was under physicians care for
several months and for six months
could not get out of bed. I also went
to Hot Springs but came back in a
worse condition than when l went.
ut was when l was down in bed
that l heard of the case of Mr..
Allison, a much older man than my
self, who mad been cured Of sciatica
by DR. Williams Pink Pills. l began
taking the pills and soon was able to
get out of bed. When l had taken
six boxes I was able to work about
the house and yard. l kept right
on with the pills until l was cured
and l have never had any return of
the trouble. l have been running an
engine ever since"

bring venison to market and sell it
much lower than pork was sold in that

Why should this be the case ?

Because they have neglected them
selves, as every one of these patients
in the hospital beds had plenty of
warning in those dragging sensations,
pains at left or right of abdomen,
backaches, nervous exhaustion, in
fammation, liberation, displ ace
ments, and other organic weaknesses.
All of these symptoms are indica-
tons of an unhealthy condition of the
female system and if not needed the
penalty has to be paid by dangerous
operation. When these symptoms
manifest themselves, do not drag
along until you are obliged to go to
the hospital and submit to an opera

The rest of the Democrats, along with
John Temple Graves, will be indeed
glad to welcome Theodore Roosevelt
formally into the party whose tenets
he now so nearly indorses, but, unlike
Mr.. Graves, before it entrusts so new a
convert with its leadership it prefers
that he give evidence of his sincerity
and good works, and that he repent of
his sins awhile in sackcloth and ashes.
Besides, we already have in Bryan a
leader whom Roosevelt might indeed be
proud to follow, and from whom he can
learn much, especially in the way of
courtesy.
