BOY TORTURED BY AWFUL HUMOR
Almost Covered with Eczema-No Nights Rest for Nearly Year Feared Lifelong Disagreement All Treatments Failed and Limit of Endurance Seemed Near,
PERFECT RECOVERY
 IS DUE TO CUTICURA

"wIth the exception of his bands and feet, my son Clyde (thirteen years old) was almost completely covered with eczena. Physicians teeated him for nearly year without helping him any. While they were very kind and did all In their power, yet nothing seemed to re- leve him. And had tfied many rem edies sent to mo by kind friends but they all failed. Ills head, faoe. and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub until they fell of. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Many time he looked as If his ears would drop of. Friends com ing to see him said that If he got well he would be disfgured for life.
 When It seemed as if he could pos sibly stand it no longer, decided to try Cuticura. bought cake of Cuti- cura Soap, box of Cuticura Ointment, and bottle of Cuticura Reeolvent. 1 used them in the evening and that was the frst night for nearly ? year that he slept. This may sound exaggerated C you, but in the morning there was eat change for the better. In about six weeks you could not have told that hehad ever had nythingwrongwithh him. I treated him twice day for six months and at present he has fine complexion and not q scar on his body. This story may seem overdravn, but neither words nor pen can describe Clyde's suffering and how he looked. Our leading phy- sicisn, Dr. ---, recommends the Cuti- ourn Remedies for eczema Mrs. Algy Cockburn, Shiloh. O., June II, 19o7."
 Frequent shampoos with Cuticurs Soap and weekly dressings with Cuti- cura stop falling hair, remove crusts, scales, and dandruff, destroy hair para sites, soothe irdtated, itching surfaces, stimulate the hair follicles, supply the roots with nouishment, loosen the scalp skin, and mako the hair grow upon a sweet, wholesome, healthy scalp, when all other remedies fail.

OnIey Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union.

At the monthly meeting of the
"Onley Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union" in July, 1908, it WAS de-
cided to take up department. of w.
C. T. u. work under the name OF
evangelistic and almshOuse work. A
committee was appointed to plan this
work; so a number of ladies have, up
to this time, made three visits to our
almshouse. We expected our work
to be evangelistic combined with
flower mission work, holding gospel
services and taking the inmates
flowers and delicacies &c.
To our amazement we found condi-
tions so deplorable. that we as Chris
tan society feel it our duty to bring
the state OF affairs before the public,
and inquire why such a rich county
as old Accomac cannot or does not
make its 10 inmates comfortable or
given the real necessities OF life.
We cannot understand how the Board
of Supervisors, if they have done their
duty and made a close inspection OF
both white and colored quarters, can
allow such conditions to exist. A re-
port from our work was discussed in
open convention of the w. Q. t. U.
recently held, and a good deal OF in
tercst and sentiment aroused we
hope the good men of our county. who
read this article. will take the oppor-
tunity to bring it before the proper
authorities and try to have conditions
improved at our almshouse.
Yours in His name,
Committee from Onley w. O. T. U.
