NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

my little son, a boy of five. broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try q certain medical college,
but It's treatment did no good. AT
the time | was induced to try Cuu-
cura he was so bad that I had to cut
ais hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
Impossible to touch him with the bare
hand There was not one square inch
Of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass OF
sores The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them 1t used
to take the skin of with them,. and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. I began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment | began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled of twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now can say that he Is
entirely cured, and stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam.

Uncle Henry was schoolboy of eight.
Before the first mile of railroad was

For years the people of southeast
Missouri looked upon Uncle Henry as
a very old man. But they were not
prepared for the announcement made
short time ago by the old mans rel

warranted in the assertion that Henry
Dorman can show records to prove a
greater age than any other man In
the United States. Some men assert
that their years exceed those of Uncle
Henry, but they cannot show the
proofs. Most of these are negroes who
do not really know how old they are.
Uncle Henry bears the great burden
of III years well upon his sturdy
shoulders. His thick, short figure Is
bent with the weight of a century, his
hair is thin and gray, and time has left
its indelible traces in the burrows of
his face His body still looks fairly
strong. His eyes still beam forth fire
from under his heavy lashes, and now
and then they show a CLINT OF humor,
which proves that the old man, in spite
of his advanced age, gets enjoyment

that Uncle Henry was out "choreing
