The sympathy Of the community goes
out to Mr.. Henry Newi1 and wife in the

BABY GIRL CRIED
AND SCRATCHED
All the Time-Torturing Eczema
Covered Her Body-Could Not
Sleep-Doctor Said Sores Would
Last for Years-Skin Now Clear.
CURED IN THREE MONTHS
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

ct take great pleasure in telling yo1
what a great help it was for me to use
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
for my baby niece. She was suffering
from hat terrible torture, eczema. It
was all over her body but the worst was
on her face and hands. Her hands were
go bad that she could not hold anything.
She cried and scratched all the time and
could not sleep night or day from the
scratching. I had her under the doc
tors care for a year and a half and he
seemed to do her no good. I took her
to the best doctor in the city and he said
hat she would have the sores until she
was six years old. But if I had de-
pended on the doctor my baby would
have lost her mind and died from the
want of aid.
IT used all the remedies that every
body told me about and I tortured the
child almost to death. Then I saw in
the paper how Cuticura was the thing
for Irritating skin. I bathed her with
warm water and Cuticura Soap and used
the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured
in three months. Now her skin is as
clear and smooth as it could be. I shall
recommend the use of Cuticura wherever
I see the skin in bad condition. Alice

AT DENVER.

Unanimity and harmony at Denver
are practically assured. The noanina-
ton is as good as made, and this is,
therefore, an excellent time in which
to consider the old-time two-thirds rule
and it's running mate, the unit rule, in
these days of majority or even plural
ity rule the t~wo-thirds rule seems out
OF place. It seems to be a misft. 1t
is not required in primaries or in cleo
tions, or in State or local conventions,
and there seems to be no reasons why
it should be retained in the national
of the Democratic party.
It did lead to q deadlock in 1860, and
It weu1d lead t o more If it were not for
the unit rule, which permits a majority
in q State delegation to silence and nua-
lily o minority. There Is nothing par
ticularly Democratic in . two-thirds
alive by anotherTule that stiles minori-
ties.
Mr.. Bryan has nothing to fear from
the operationaof either rule, and this Is
why both rules should be considered
anew. The stwo-thirds rule has i'm the
past led to compromises that did not
command Mt the outset populsrsupport
It really Invites dark horses. IF 8
majority rule is good in q State 'delega.
ton, it should be held good lathe entire
conversation. It is certainly democratic
in principle, and there is mo known
reason why Democratic practice should
not conform to it.. The old rule has
held it's own "a years, but age does no
render a rule acceptab BILE unless circum'
stances remain unchanged. The max
up 'ot the republic today differs mate
rally from that of 1874, and the Demo
Gratis of today should ask themselves
whether or no the majority rule dee
mot fit circumstances better at presen
than the two-thirds rMle,with its con
comitant, the unit rule. 1t is q ques
hion that should be considered Will
the party is united and harmonious.

BLOOD POISON
DANGEROUS

Contagious Blood Poison is the most treacherous Of all diseases.
It has its victims in its power almost before they realize its presence;
because its first symptom, which is usually a little sore or pimp1e, is so
Insignificant that it does not cause alarm, or even excite suspicion.
But Notwithstanding the outward symptoms are not manifested in the
beginning, this insidious poison is at work on the blood, and in a short
lime the patients find themselves diseased from head to foot
The mouth and throat ulcerae, the hair begins to come out, a
ash breaks out on the body, unprecedented spots, and even sores and
ulcers appear on the flesh. Unless the poison is driven from the blood
it affects the bones, and literally eats out the life of the sufferer.
There is scarcely any init to the evil powers of Contagious Blood
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1908-04-23

Poison. 1t is often transmitted to
others by a friendly handshake Or
from the use Of the toilet articles
Of an infected person. And if the
virus is allowed to remain in the
circulation, its blighting influence
will be handed down to offspring to
ruin their innocent lives.
Contagious Blood Poison is too
dangerous to trifle with. No time
should be lost in Kidding the blood
IF this insidious poison; and in no
disease is it more important that
he proper remedy be used.
Medicines which merely check the
symptoms for a time and leave the

possibility of leading the Church fell
upon the twelve apostles. There was
no talk of heridity, In the matter of
leadership for the Church.
There was no REORGANIZATION of the
Church, as has been claimed by some.
Because the prophet of the Lord was
slain by wicked men, was that a justt-
fication for the Lord rejecting the
Church and dsorganizing it? Some
men We're too cowardy to stay by the
Church in its trying ordeals, but this
did not warrant an assumption that
the faithful and true We're rejected by
the Lord. There was no disorganiza-
ton. hence no need of a reorganization.
ELDER SEYMOUR B. YOUNG.
The vote taken for the suppression
of the drinking habit among the Lat
ter-day Saints was heartily endorsed by
Elder Seymour B. Young. He said he
wished that the condition sought for
might be found in every Christian com
7munity in the land, irrespective of
creed. The observance of the Sabbath
was another matter that should receive
the attention of well disposed persons
The tearing up on Sunday of the
streets of this city for paving purposes
had been seen frequently Of late, and
saloons had been found with open
doors on the Sabbath day.
In the observance of the Word of
