BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old.
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when | removed his
shirt.
We tried great many remedies
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. | used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
tCuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and great deal more"

the New York Sun.
The English alphabet has twenty
six letters, the Russian thirty-six. The
typewriter produced for the Russian
market is the largest made; but no
typewriter could be made that would
begin to be big enough for the Chi
nese language, which has no alphabet
but is represented by sign characters
of which there are about fifty thous-
and OF the great number of words
found in the English language only a
small proportion are used for the or
binary purposes of speech. and the
same is true of the characters used in
the Chinese language; but the nun
