holds that these clauses are of no par

A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE

1--WE express to you herewith our best
thanks for the cure OF our baby from
eczema. The eczema appeared when
the child was three months old. We
applied to several doctors and hospitals.
each OF which gave Us something differ
ent every time, but nothing brought re-
lief. A physician recommended a saIve
which we threw INTO the fire after two
days use as the eczema became worse
60 that the baby scratched his face. AT
last, one of our friends recommended to
US Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment. A few days afterwards improve
ment could be noted Since then We
have used nothing but Cuticura Soap
and CUticura Ointment, and now the
baby is SIX months old and is quite cured.
All that we used was one cake OF Cuti-
CurA Soap and two boxes CuticlIra Oiut-
ment, costing IN all Sl.25. Even the
poorest man can pay that instead Of
throwing IL into the doctors lao. I
myself only make twelve dollars a week

eases. They are cheap, harmless snd
