Case of
Skin Disease
When Two Months Old, Baby
Had Pimples Spread All Over
Body-Broke and Lett Skin
Like a Scald-An Awful Sight
Doctor Afraid to Put His
Hands on the Child.
Cured at Slight Cost
BY Cuticura Remedies

Our baby when two months old was suffering
with terrible eczema from head to foot, all over
her body The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit We were unable to put clothes her.
At first it seemed to he few mattcred pimples.
They would break the skin and peel off, leaving
the underneath skin red though it We're
scalds. Then few more pimpcs would appear
and spread all over the body, leaving the baby
all raw without skin from head TO foot. On top
Of her head there appeared heavy scab quar-
ter of inch thick. 1t was awful 70 see so
small a baby look she did. Imagine. The doc
tor was afraid to put his hands TO the child
We tried several doctors remedies but all failed.
Then decided to try Cuticura. BY using
the Cuticura Ointment We softcned the scab and
it came off. Under this, where the real matter
was, by washing with the Cuticura Soap and ap-
plying the Cutlcura Ointment skin soon
appeared. We also gave baby four drops Of the
Cuticura Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the body gaining little
skin, which would peel of and heal underneat tn.
Now the baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of fat little baby and all is we'll. We
only used cake of Cuticura Soap, two boxes
of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura
Resolvcnt. IL people would know what Cuticura
is there would be few suffering with eczema

CAREER OF OLD RESIDENT.
Capt. William M. Duncanson' Place
in City's History.

Something of the life and career OF
Capt. William Mayne Duncanson was set
forth in a paper read by Allen c.. Clark
at meeting last evening Of the Column
bia Historical Society. AS one of the
early investors Capt. Duncanson is an
interesting figure in the history of the
city.
He was felloW-countryman of Thomas
Law, the Anglo-Indian, who came to this
city, when it was first laid out and in
vested his money in the southern section
The expectations of neither Mr.. Law nor
Capt Duncanson in regard to the
course of the development of the city
were realized. but they remained here and
became identified with it and were IN
strumental in many of its activities. The
career of Capt. Duncanson as portrayed
by Mr.. Clark proved to be informing to
those who are familiar with that period
of the history of the city.
Announcement was made that fifty
books on historical subjects had been
presented to the society by Miss Mildred
Johnston.
