One day the famous John PhilpOt
Crrran, who was also very partial to
the said corned mutton, did me the
honor to meet him. To enjoy the So
ciety of such men was an intellectual
treat. They were great friends and
seemed to have mutual respect for
each others talent, and, as it may
easily be imagined, O'Leary versus
Curran was no bad match.
One day after dinner Curran said to
him: Reverend father, ! wish you
were st. Peter"
and why, counselor, would you
wish that / were ST. Peter?" asked
O'Leary.
Because, reverend father, in that
case" said Curran, you would have
the keys of heaven, and you could let

selor," replied the divine, lit would be
better for you that I had the keys of

AN lNTOLERABLE ITCHING

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 l
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 intolerable itching,
in painful, burning way, very much
as bad, raw burn, If deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. I 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
finger-tips would be bloody. l could
not sleep we'll and, after being asleep
a 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 Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, l now decided to
order q set of the Cuticura Remedies

menccd the Cuticura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp l used about one half cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box of
CutiCura Ointment in all. The first
time l took six or seven bottles Of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
tottles-neither an expensive or te
dious treatment. Since then l have
had no scalp trouble Of any kind.
Standing up, with my hair unbound, 1t
comes to my knees and had it not been

wholly bald.
