ITCHING OF SCALP
|NTOLERABLE
Nearly Wild with Painful, Burning
Eruption-Half Her Hair Fell Out
and Combing It Was Torture
Feared She Would be Bald.
IN DESPAIR UNTIL
CURED BY CUTlCURA

Just about two years ago, some form
OF humor appeared on my scalp. The
beginning was slight itching but it
grew steadily worse until, when combed
my hair. the scalp became raw and the
ends of the comb-teeth would be wet
with blood Most of the time there was
an intolerabls itching in a painful,
burning way, very much as bad, raw
burn, il deep, will itch and smart when
first beginning to heal. Combing my
hair was positive torture. My hair was
long and tangled terribly because Of the
blood and scabs. This continued grow
ing worse and over half my hair fell
out. l was in despair, really afraid OF
becoming totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, l would
scratch the worst places so that my fin
ger-tips would be bloody. l could not
sleep we'll and, after being asleep short
time, that awful singing pain would
commence and then ! would wake up
nearly wild with the torture. A neighbor
said it must be salt rheum. Having
used Cutcura Soap. merely as a toilet
soap before, l now decided to order
set Of the Cuticura Remedies -Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills. used them
according to directions for perhaps six
weeks, then left of, as the disease seemed
to be eradicated. But toward spring,
eighteen months ago, there was a slight
return Of the scalp humor. 1 COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at once,
30 had very little trouble. On my scalp
/ used about one half cake Of Cuticura
Soap and half box OF Cuticura Oint-
ment in all. The first time l took six
or seven bottles Of Cuticura Pills and
the last time three bottles neither an
expensive or tedious treatment. Since
then have had no scalp trouble Of any
kind. Standing up, with my hair un-
bound it comes to my knees and had
it not been for Cuucura should doubt

Exery new tenement in the city is
engaged before the frame is put to-
gether. There are a dozen or more
as tenements and producing good in
comes. There are old houses, I'M
provided with modern improvements,
desirable only because they are well
located rented steadily and regularly
and at good prices. Unless the street
railway owners extend lines and make
some outlying land more available
rents will never be as cheap in Mont
PEELED as in some other large towns
Of the State, on account of the high
cost of land. But an apartment
house, five or six stories in height,
will be economical in that respect, and
will provide more available room for
each square rod of land occupied than
any other form of construction, while
various other economies can be eff
fected in the way of plumbing and
heating arrangements.
How did the early proprietor of the
Pavilion spell his name? Thompson
in his history of Montpelier refers to
him as "Mahlon Cottrill." Hon. Ella
kim p Walton, in his sketch for Hem
enway's, uses the same spelling. There
is in the rooms of the Montpelier His
torical Society an old leather water
bucket on which is painted: IN. Cot
terill" There may be some reason for
assuming that this was painted I'M
der Mr.. Cottrills direction and that
he spelled his name in that way. Has
any one any document or letter signed
by him which will snow the spelling
he used?
There was not so much care taken
of spelling, especially of family names,
in the old days. Some people have
tried to prove that Shakespeare was
an ignorant man because the name
was spelled so many different ways
in signatures attributed to him. A
Montpelier man looking up his family
history in Massachusetts a few years
ago found the name spelled in IA diff
lferent ways. Yet his own eXamina-
ton of the records convinced him, as
others had been convinced before, that
the same man or the same family was
referred to in each case.
