BY most peculiar accident Miss Lena
Phillips, at Harlem, N. Y, was almost in
stantly killed Monday when a pane of
glass fell from a fifth-story window in the
apartment of Mrs. Tillie GoldStein, strik
ing Miss Phillips on the neck, nearly
Severing her head from her body. The
young woman fell on the sidewalk and
died before assistance could reach her.
In their investigation the police learned
that Mrs Goldstein was cleaning the front
windows in her apartment when the
loose pane OF glass suddenly slipped out
OF IFS frame and fell. Mrs. GoldStein
said she thought it strange that she did
not hear the glass smash on the sidewalk,
but she paid no further attention to the
incident until some one rushed up to her
apartment and told her woman had
been killed in the street.

teen years ago, families were strick-

the itch. Believe me, 1t Is the most
terrible disease of its kind that |
know of, as it itches all through your
body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as if a million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time. l
knew a dozen families that were SO
affected.
"The doctors did their best, but
their remedies were of no avail what
V Then the families tried adrug-
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse. as a last resort
they were advised by a friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent, the effect IA wonder
full and the result was a perfect cure
In all cases.
