LEG A MASS OF HUMOR

About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It irritated me so that l began to scratch it and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. l lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, l would have to scratch it until had the blood running down into my shoe l simply cannot describe my suffer- ing during those seven years. The pain, modification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply indescrib- able on paper and one has to expe- rience it to know what it is.
 ''I tried all kinds of doctors and rem edies but I might as well have thrown my money down a sewer. They would dry up for little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad if not worse. had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuti- cura Remedies a trial. After taking the Cuticura Remedies for little while I began to see change, and after taking dozen bottles of Cuti cura Resolvent. in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment, the trouble had entirely disap peared and my leg was as fine as the day was born. Now after a lapse of six months with no signs of recur- renee I feel perfectly safe in extend ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me. I shall always recommend them to my friends. w. H. White. 312 E. Cabot St. Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 4 and Apr. 13, 1909"

us there are a hundred ways Tn the long-lost yesterdays!
 Some go trudging through the rain,
 Through the fog of wasted tears That has hid the hills of pain
 On the borders of the years: Some go by the laughing streams Down and down the road of dreams. You and and all must know Bypaths to the long ago;
 Now that we are old and wise
 We cling to each treasured sign That will show to us where lies
 The old land of song and wine The old land of field and tree That we know as Usedto- Be. Ho, day dreamers are we all! And oft on our ears will fall. Half forgotten songs we sang
 When We had no thought of care. And we hear the bells that rang
 Ever softly. sweetly. there Then before our eyes, in sooth, Stretch the fair. wide fields of youth. And We hear as spoken words All the chantngs of the birds, And with half closed eyes we see
 Hills that rise in living green. Rustling grass and swaying tree,
 And the sky. blue and serene. And again in dreams we rest In the lands We love the best. So there are a hundred ways To the long-lost yesterdays. Ways that lure us on and on,
 Back and back the endless miles That our tagging feet have gone,
 Into all the other whiles Where our youth forever gleams- Down and down the road of dreams.
