NURSE TELLS IF BABY'S SUFFERING
Raw with Eczema from Birth-Fear- full itching la5ted for Months
 Treatment Futile Walked the Floor with Him Night and Day Wasted Away and Got Little Rest,
PERMANENTLY CURED
 BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

"The first time I went out as a nurse was when baby boy was born. He was perfectly raw all over with humor. The doctor gave us some ointment to use, but he got no better The baby seemed to be suffering terribly and at times I had to walk the floor with him night and day, sending for my husband to carry him when l could not. His poor little head became covered with crusts and tho doctor decided 1t wss eczema. The fearful itching went on for months, and the little fellow was wasted to a skeleton and could get al- most no rest. At last l decided to try the Cuticura Remedies, bathing him with Cuticura Soap, using just as little water as possible; then 1 applied the Cuticura Ointment, and gave him small doses of Cuticura Resolvent. This re- lieved him almost at once and in b comparatively short time the baby w6s quite well. Now, thirteen years after, he is fine boy, in the High School, and he has never had any return of the disease. I have since known of 0 num- Der of cases of eczema which have been cured by Cuticura, but none, perhaps, as severe as this one. have always recommended Cuticura most highly for skin troubles. and shall continue to do so.

Waterlogged Schooner Will Go to Maine for Repairs-Grand Avenue Church Raises

It is probable the vessel will make temporary repairs in New York to allow her to load coal and proceed to an eastern port and later, the boat will be overhauled in Maine, where she is owned, The schooner which was abandoned off Plum island, was strained in the gale and became water-logged and was lowed into this harbor by the New Haven railroad s steamer, Bunker Hill. This vessel Is of about 400 tons and was built at Lyme in 1876, Although pretty old vessel, she is well preserved craft and after an overhauling, there is promise for her to sail the sea for many a year to come.
