IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Bleeding.
Torturing Humor - Hoped Death
Would End Fearful SUFFERING
In Despair: Cured by Cuticura.


words cannot describe the terrible &C.
zema | suffered with 1t broke out on nv
head and kept spreading until it covered
my whole body. / was almost solid mass
of sores from head to foot. looked more
like piece of raw beef than a human being.
The pain and agony endured seemed more
than | could bear. Blood and pus oozed
from the great sore on my scalp, from I'M
der my finger nails, and nearly all over nv
body. My ears were so crusted and swollen
| was afraid they would break off. Every
hair in my head fell out | could not sit
down, for my clothes would stick to the
raw and bleeding flesh, making me cry out
from the pain. My family doctor did all
he could, but | got worse and worse. Nv
condition was awful. / did not think /
could live, and wanted death to come and
end my frightful suferings
In this condition my mother-in-Iaw
begged me to try the Cuticura Remedies.
l said l would, but had no hope of recov-
cry. But oh, what blessed relief | expert
enced after applying Cuticura Ointment. It
cooled the bleeding and itching flesh and
brought me the first real sleep had had in
weeks. 1t was as gp..eful as ice to burn
ing tongue. l would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply the
Ointment freely. | also took Cuticura Re-
solvent for the blood. In short time tho
sores stopped running, the flesh began to
heal, and | knew | was to get well again.
Then the hair on my head began to grow.
and in short time was completely cured.

Exceptional
Equipment

Of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA and as the gen.
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge Of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or to return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found
printed on the front thereof.

The Farmer Discovers the Phone.

The Farmer Discovers the Phone.
1t is becoming apparent to the
farmer that the telephone is not an
expense as he has hitherto believed,
but a saving, perhaps of life in ill
ness, perhaps of help when flood or
fire comes or something else.
The great benefits of telephone
to a farming community can hardly
be exaggerated.
1t is one of the greatest time saw
ers ever invented.
Modern business methods would
become antique without it's use.
1t enlivens social intercourse and
makes neighbors of and cements
friendship between families living
miles apart.
A farmer with a phone does not
have to go to the nearest market to
find the price of various agricultural
products. Neither is it necessary for
him to blindly send his products to
market only to find prices at a low
level.
To the farmers wife the phone is
a friend that does not fail. The in
convenience of marketing and shop
ping is done away with. To her it is
an all-round necessity as we'll as an
aid to social enlivenment.

REFERRING to some of the things
that man has to contend with who
is trying to make city, the Kinks
vile Express editoriany says:
"The most contemplate man found
in any community is the fellow who
sits around with his hands on his
pocketbook and refuses too help any
enterprise that means the building
I'm of town. If there is a factory
wanting a location, nv so appnsad ta
ii because 1t may bring a competitor
in his line TO the town; if a benevo-
lent institution is to be built, he is
opposed to It, saying that the town
doesn't need such an institution; II
a railroad wants a bonus this fellow
is opposed TO 1t, for the railroad will
come anyway. This same easy going
citizen easily accepts all OF the good
and increased business which comes
directly from the efforts of his fel
low townsmen, and never even open
ly expresses his gratitude for the
services Of the others"
