BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until 1t very nearly covered the back
part Of his leg to the knee.
Finally got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. l
used them in the morning and that
evening, before I put my boy to bed.
used them again and the improve
ment even in those few hours was sur.
prising, the Inflammation seemed to
be SO much less. used two boxes OF
Cuticura Ointment. the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cured. My son is now in his sew
enteenth year and he has never had
return of the eczema.
II took care of friends child that
had eczema on its face and limbs and
used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
They acted on the child just as they
did on my son and 1t has never re-
turned. l would recommend the Cuti-
cura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J..

Two of the big freight engines run
ming on this division rubbed noses just
outside the yards at Stoughton so hard
Saturday evening that traffic was hung
up for several hours and the iron horses
sent back to the shops for repairs. The
collision came about because an extra
east-bound freight ran by the yard linn
it's at Stoughton to back upon a siding
to meet the way freight due from Ed
gerton, but late AS the passing track
the track next to the main line-was
already occupied by west-bound ex-
ira, Conductor Semrad pulled down
with the intention of backing into the
switch, thus clearing the track for the
passenger. His train being nearly half
mile long this maneuver placed his
engine near the curve, and as he is said
to have neglected to send fiagman
ahead, there was nothing to warn the
way freight which was coming on at a
good clip. The cow-catcher and head
lights were smashed by the impact, the
front trucks of one of the engines were
derailed, and one of the drive wheels
sprung, but otherwise the engines were
not greatly damaged. A car of the
way freight, however, loaded with
household goods, was wrenched loose
from the rest of the train, derailed and
tipped over into the ditch. The Mil
waukee wrecking crew, which was sent
for Immediately, did not arrive until 4
o'clock Sunday morning, but when it
got there made short work of clearing
the line, and before o'clock the track
was clear for the 6:31 passenger. Both
crews jumped when they saw the crash
was due and no one was injured.
