the cigar case to wait upon them.
Before Mr.. Fellner could indicate his
wishes the clerk had slapped a box

he. BEST dime smoker In town"
Mr.. Fellner is sort Of fussy about
his smokes. He looked at the cigar
then showed the box away. Have
you no other price?" he asked.
The clerk showed the box in the

ECZEMA DISFlGURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples. his little
face was disfgnred very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night. his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago. where We resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine OF the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which.is a pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. II.
Albrecht, Box Ss3, West Point, Neb..
Oct. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample Of
each, with 32-page book. will be mailed
free on application to "Cuticura."
