the French in the spring. This was the begin

which lasted seven years Gen. Braddock was
sent over from England and George was made
a colonel and commanded the Virginia troops.
Though Braddock was a capable general ne
did not understand the art of fighting the In
dams and refused to heed young Washingtons
advice The general was shot in one OF these
engagements, With this the Redcoats began
to run, but Washington tried to call them BACK
All day he was in the midst of the fight. -Four
bullets went through his coat and two horses
were shot under him

ND headquarters where she might be near him.
These winterngs gradually became regular
custom. She seldom complained, although she
frequently had to put up with inconvenient

seemed more than could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen l
was afraid they would break off.
Every hair in my head fell out. l

flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he

condition was awful. l did not think
l could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
'In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. l said l would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief 1 experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. 1t cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the

on my head began to grow, and in a
short time l was completely cured.

eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. VIM.
