TORTURED FOR SIX MONTHS
BY Terrible Itching Eczema-Baby's
Suffering was Terrible -- Soon
Entirely Cured by Cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face. We
vent to a doctor who treated him for three
months. Then he was so bad that his face
and head were nothing bat one sore and
his ears looked q if they were gang to fall
off, so we tried another doctor for four
months, che baby never getting any better.
His hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so ter
ribly that he could not sleep. After he
had suffered six months we tried set Of
the Cuticura Remedies and the first treat
ment let him sleep and rest well; in one
week the sores were gone and in two
months he had a clear face Now he is
two years and has never had eczema again.

Vermont Money for YER
mont, III de Park Savings
Bank Policy Approved.
From the Waterbury Record

1t has always been our consistent and con-
stantly reiterated opinion that the best place
in the world for Vermont investors to place
their surplus cash is in the good old State of
Vermont. We also hold in connection with
the above opinion, that it is the duty of every
Vermonter who has an investment proposition,
safe, sane, and following the principle of
"Vermont', to exert every endeavor by every
legitimate means within his reach to place his
proposition before the citizens of Vermont.
We all, without exceptions, like to have
our expressed opinions vindicated, and it is
with pleasure that we call attention to the
record of the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
This is distinctly Vermont institution, for
it is their well known and commendable
policy to keep Vermont money in Vermont,
and they have been eminently successful
They have believed as emphatlcally as we,
that it was their duty to let Vermonters know
of their policy, and it must be a great source
of qualification to them that Vermonters have
responded to So large an extent.
We heartily congratulate this bank and its
President, TX GOV. Carroll ;. Page, upon
their success, and we also take pride in the
demonstrated fact, that if one wishes to reach
the people of Vermont, the way to do it is
through the Vermont Press.
