With Eczema Baby Lay

Another Wonderful Cure by Hoods
SarsapariIla.

when my baby was four months
old his face broke out with eczema.
The doctor said he would soon be ell
right. but he steadily grew worse and
at sixteen months Of age, his face,
hands and arms were In n dreadful
state. The eczema seemed to be
spreading all over his body. His face
was so sore. we were obliged 10 put
mask or cloth over it. We were
obliged also 20 tie up his hands and
arms to prevent him from scratching
the innamed places. We consulted
other doctors. used olntments and
salves sent us by friends and nelgh-
bors. Some OF these things would
seem TO have some effect. but after
few days would act like n poison. and
increase this stubborn disease.
"Just one year ago this month baby
lay between life and death. We felt
that we must give up trying to find
any cure or relief. our hearts were

 POISONOUS SNAKE

The little girl was picking roses from 3 small bush at their home northwest of this city, when the bird flew at her face and futtered before her until she was frightened away from the bush. Mrs. Giddens' attention was attract ed by the incident and when she ran to the little girl she found an unusual ly large snake coiled underneath the rose bush where her daughter had just been standing The bird had no nest in the bush, ard Mf. Giddens believes the sparrow saw the child danger and frightened her away from the snake.
