ECZEMA ALL OVER HIM.
No Nights Rest for Year and Limit of his Endurance Seemed Near
 Owes Recovery to Cuticura.

Ny son Clyde was almost com pletely covered with eczema. Physi- clans treated him for nearly a year without helping him any. His head, face, and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub until they fell off. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Friends coming to see him said that if he got well he would be disfgured for life. When it seemed as if he could possibly stand it no longer, used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint- ment. and Cuticura Resolvent. That was the first night for nearly year that he slept. In the morning there was q great change for the better. In about six weeks he was perfectly we'll

One of Bill NYe,s.

Referring to a real estate transac- ton made by one Peter Minuit. way back in the year 1928, Bill Nye. in his history of the United States, declared:
 New York was afterwards sold for s2f; the whole island When I think of this l go into my family gallery. which l also use as a swear room. and tell those ancestors what I think of them. Where were they when New York sold for s24?"
 The humor of this strikes deeply when one stops to consider what has been the outcome of this original in. vestment. Peter Minuit, with trinkets and few bottles of rum, so delighted the native indians that they gladly turned over to him the whole of Man hattan island, now the heart of Greater New York.-"New York, the Giant City, National Magazine.
