BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

my little son, when about a year
and half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. l had a physi.
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts OF
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then l
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. AT tho end of about a
year and a half of suffering he grew
so bad that l had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got TO be a mere skeleton.

Cuticura Soap and box of the Oint-

end of two months the sores were all

of any kind since. can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would

Cuticura Soap and about three boxes

foolishness communicate itself to me.
The house was very long, a rectan-

trance In the center of the long side.
The brick-paved entry opened into a
short hall, to the right of which, sepa-
rated only by a row of pillars, was a
huge living room. Beyond that was
the drawing room, and in the end the
billiard room. or the billiard room,
in the extreme right wing, was den,

there went up narrow circular stair

room and turned on all the lights. !

which opened on the veranda, and ex-
amined the windows. Everything was
secure, and Liddy. a little less ner-
vous now, had just pointed out to me
the disgraceful dusty condition of the
hardwood floor. when suddenly the
lights went out. We waited a mo-
ment; think Liddy was stunned with
fright or she would have screamed.
And then I clutched her by the arm
