ECZEMA DIsFIeuRED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a 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 disfigured 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.
we consulted two doctors at Chi
caso, 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 nee bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we say 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 q
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. H.
Albrecht. Box 1888, 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."

the moment. Led by Mr.. Fellner. they
all trooped in. The clerk hurried to

he. BEST dime smoker in town."
Nh. Fellner is sort of fussy about
his smokes. He looked at the cigar
then showed tho box away. Have

The clerk showed the box in the
case. Sure thing" said he. my mis-
take and your treat"
Having pulled off this time-worn
witticism. he addressed Mr.. Fellner
confidentially. "Your clothes sort Of

Then he put another box on the coun-
ter. Here" said he, "is the best
