TEN YEARS Of

CURE IN CUTICURA

1T is a great pleasure for me and
consider it "A duty Co INFORM you what
Cuticura has done for me. About
twelve years ago. contracted an erup-
ton OF the scalp consisting OF small
pimples, about the size Of a pinhead,
which flled after a few DAYS with pus
aud which burt tremendously. / tired
everything, but in vain. Finally, l
washed my head with sulphur and ap-
plisd a carbolic ointment. After a few
days tho pimples disappeared, only to
cume hack again in a week. This I
suffered for ten years and then / saw
en- advertisement IN the paper Of the
wonderful cures by Cuticura. | bought
a cake OF Cuticura Soap, box Of Cuti-
cura Ointment and bottle Of Cuticura
Pills and after three weeks / had used
only half the Soap and Ointment and
my head was as clean as over before.
After the first application it was simply
surprising how IL improved.
MY daughter used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment for scales on the scalp and
after having used them three times her
head was clear and the hair became as
soft and fine as silk. Since then she
uses nothing but Cuticura Soap for
shampooing
In consequences os my having used
Cuticura Soap for shampooing, l no
ticed that my hands which almost al
ways were cracked from handling un-
dressed wood. lime and stone, became
white and veivety. Formerly I used
glycerine, but one nights treatment
with Cuticura Soap and Ointment does
more for my hands than weeks treat
ment with glYcerine. I hope all suf-
rering people will at least try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. Herman Becker, Fl

SALT SPONGE is INVIGORATING
FOR THOROUGHLY TIRED NERVES

There are few things more invigor-
ating TO tired nerves than a salt sponge
bath either before going to bed OF first
thing in the morning. If one is in
clined TO sleeplessness the latter time
is best. as the salt is decidedly stimu-
lating
sea salt can be bought in boxes and
should be kept In a bathroom closet,
or some place where it is quickly
found.
AS a brine is not made rapidly, It is
wiser, If the bath is to be taken in the
morning. to soak a large double hand
ful Of salt in two quarts Of boiling wa
ter over night. Keep In a covered
pitcher.
When ready to use add two quarts Of
fresh water. either tepid or cold, as
preferred. II one likes to sponge in
tub use more salt, keeping about the
same proportions.
This brine can be used on the face as
well as body, and IL does small hurt
IL it gets in the eyes. The sting is
temporary. and the goods effects are
felt IN rested eyes, as well as nerves.
Such a sponge is strengthening TO
women, who are unable to take cold
piunees and find daily bath in hot
water enervating.
II you have no sea salt, ico cream
salt, or even that for table use, will
answer. but it costs more and IS less
bene fetal.
When very tired one can add to the
salt water three or four tablespooufuls
OF alcohol. This combination is espe-
cially invigorating.
