IL worried through the morning
somehow, never trusting myself to

it was the only place of public enter

not disappointed, for there 1t was. as

More than ever puzzled, l strolled
over to the postofiice after lunch. Ma

Little Sufferer in Terrible Plight.
Disease Cured by cutieura.

MY six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play
ing with children who had it. BY
scratching she caused large sores
which were irritating. Her body was
q complete sore but 1t was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but 1t did
not help her and tried several reme-
dies but without avail. Seeing the
Cuticura Remedies advertised,
thought would tr~ them. l gave her
a hot bath daily with Cuticura Soar
and anointed her body with Cuticura

lieved the itching and in short time
