GIRL BABY'S
 AWFUL ECZEMA
Sight of Eye Destroyed by Disease Tried Five Doctors but Grew Worse In Agony Eight Months Parents Discouraged, Until They Tried CutiCura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
 SORES DISAPPEARED

"Our little girl, one year and Q hRR old, was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor said 1t was. We called In tho family doctor and he gave some tablets and said she would be all righG in a few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was teething, as soon as the teeth were through she would De all right. But she still grew worse: Doe tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this time she was nothing but Q yellow greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, so we let him try 1t abouE Q week. One morning we discoyered . little yellow pimple on one ot her oyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No, 3, Ho came over and looked her over and said that be could not do any thing moro for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since it vyAs an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye sight was gone, but that he could help 1t. We thought we would try doctor No. 5. Well. that proved the same, only hO charged SI0 moro than doctor No. (. We were nearly discouraged. l saw one of the Cuticura advertisements ln the paper and thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so l went and purchased Q set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me Sl, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improve rnent, and in one week all sores had dis appeared. Of course it could not re- store the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time I am confident that it would have saved the eye. We think there is no remedy SO good for any skin trouble or impurity of the blood as Cuticura. Mir. and Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. D. No. 9, Fulton, Oswego Co., N. r., August l7, l9oe."

ed, this can be done by holding the
egg in the hand half closed and placing
it in front of the light of a candle.
For larger number of eggs the test
ing is done more quickly and more
easily by means of the egg tester,
Fig. 1.
The testing must be done in the
dark. If the egg is fortified, the
germ should be seen very distinctly,
as in Fig. 2. If the egg is not fertiliz-
ed and is freshly laid, it is almost quite
transparent and does not seem to con-
tain any yolk. If not freshly laid, the
yolk seems to float in the midst of the
white. If the egg is fortified and the
germ has not enough vitality to de-
velop, the germ will be seen surround
ed with a circle or half circle Of blood.
Such eggs should be rejected.
