BABY's SCALP cRUsTED

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest. day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read OF the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got cake of Cuticura Soap, q
box Of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie Of Cuticura Resolvent. and fol.
lowed directions carefully. After the
drst dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve ra lidly and In
two weeks the scale came on her
head and new hair began to grow. In
o very short time she was we'll. She Is
now sixteen years Of age and pic.
ture OF health. We used the CUT.
cura Remedies about Ave weeks, reg.
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatment after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M

But even with the severe penalty of
the law staring her in the face, she did
not finch an instant upon learning
that her aged father and her aged
mother would have to go to jail under

that plot had been laid to steal the dog.
Much alarmed, Mrs. Carter got into the
baggage car with the dog and held him
in her lap till the train reached this city.

and buest blooded pedigree Of any canine
In the world. For centuries Chow's an
cestors have been In the household Of the
royal family Of China. who fairly wor-
SHIPPED and .dolized them. Outside OF the
royal family no one is permitted to breed
the dogs under penalty OF death.
When Pekin was captured and looted by
the allied armies, Chow's grand sire and
his mate were found In the BOULDER of the
dowager empress i'm the inner, or most
sacred precinct of the CASTLE where the
foot OF no foreign devil had ever tres
passed before. When the soldiers were
pounding at the gates and scaling the
walls the empress fed through secret
passage, leaving her pets behind her. A
presented them TO the Duke of Westmin-
ster. A male and female of this breed
were given by the DUKE to Lilly Langtry
who in turn presented one Of their off,
spring, Chow, to Mrs. Carter in London
