EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH
VILLAGE

''In Dowlais, South Wales, about fit,
teen years ago, families were strick-
en- wholesale by disease known as
the itch. Believe me, it is the most
terrible disease of it's kind that I
know of, as it itches all through your
body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as if 9 million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time.
knew dozen families that were so
affected.
"The doctors did their best, but
their remedies were Of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried a drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as a last resort
they were advised by a friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. l am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent, the effect was wonder
full and the result was perfect cure
in all cases.
Il may add that my three brothers,
three sisters, myself and all our fam
lilies have been users Of the Cut!cura
Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas
Hugh, 1850 West Huron St., Chicago.

An Easy Fit,

A number Of years ago there lived
in northern New Hampshire a notori-
Gus Woman-hater. 1t was before the
day Of ready-made clothing, and want
ing new suit, he was obliged to take
the material to the village tailoress.
She took his measurements, and when
she cut the coat, made liberal al
lowance on each seam
The mans dislike of women in gen
eral prevented his having fitting.
He took the finished garment without
trying it on. 1t was much too large,
and his disgust was apparent in the
answer he made to the friendly loafer
on his first visit to the post office,
when he wore the despised article.
Got new coat, Obed?" said the
loafer
NO, l hain't!" said Obed. 'Tve got

Large cankers form in the mouth, in
a short time covering the entire IL

dry, her mouth being in such con
