BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.
In Torments with Terrible Sores on
Face and 6ody-Tore at Flesh
Cured by Cuticura.

My little son, when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms. then on other parts
of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about a year and a half of suf-
fering he grew so bad ! had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be a mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk. I
sent to the drug store and got a cake
of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores We're all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. I used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shell.

end to the lives of the fish. AS an IL
%lustration, persons who recently nave
visited Crow lake, a small Dody Oh
water in Aurora county, report that
vast quantities Of dead fish now are 10
be seen along the shores. There are
said to be actually al loads OF the
dead fish along the banks.
A curious feature in this particular
ca Sc is that until the ice melted n
the dead fish discovered it was not
known that there were any fish at all
in the lake.
