NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

My little son, a boy of Eve, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him. but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try q certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that l had to cut
his hair on and put the Cuticura ONT
ment on him on bandages. as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not ono square inch
OF skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass OF
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them 1t used
to take the skin OF with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment began to see signs Of Improve.
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled of twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now l can say that he ia
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam

The Honest Prisoner.

A prisoner within these last few
days appeared at our county jail,
bringing his own commitment. The
constable, he said, was busy in his
harvest and could not come with him.
1t was not till after he had given his
word and honor that he was the FER
son named in the commitment that he
was admitted.-From the Staffordshire
(Eng) Advertiser Of September, 1909.

Our Chance,

We read of and admire the heroes
of old, but every one of us has to fight
his own Marathon and Thermopylae;
every one meets the Sphinx sitting by
the road he has to pass; to each Of US,
as to Hercules, is offered the choice
Of vice or virtue; we may, like Paris,
give the apple of life to Venus, or
Juno, or Minerva.-Sir John Lubbock.
