A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In
Jurina Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
Il suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my housework, did not
realize the gravity Of my condition till
was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was SO bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
l was a widow and had child de-
pendent upon NE. 1t was to protect
her future that l wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, I happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from man who had been
affected in the same way that was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
flied by leaving of coffee and using
Postum. l grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.

diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out of my mouth
Then again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble In
passing the medical examination.

The old, old horse fell slowly in the
street.
No plunging drop. no sudden slip and
fall,
No wild attempt to stop its sliding feet,
But just a patient sinking, that was all.
An old, old horse-a bonY. toil-worn beast
That had no soul, that had no hopeful
dreams,
That knew not when the light of life had
ceased
To lure it on with ever-nckle CLEANS.
A common brute-yet one day 1t had
played
Across the pasture lands with graceful
stride,
Or some proud masters word 1t had
obeyed
While nervous ripples shook It's glossy
hide.
Too fine head It had for us to think
That 1t had always plodded alley ways
And fed on curses with its food and drink
And never heard word of cheer or
praise.
And even brutal blows and starving years
Had failed to break the curving of Its
neck
Or rob the thoroughbred poise OF its
ears
Life had not yet made of it all wreck
But how It fell all slowly in the street
And never once attempted more to rise:
Its heart gave up in one last broken
beat,
Deaths mercy drew the veil upon It's
eyes.
Dead in the harness-and the needless

SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN

when my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with
rash which was very itchy and ran
watery fluid. We tried everything we
could but he got worse all the time,
till it spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got so
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch SO that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and thin
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. l had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was so weak
and run down that he took fainting
spells as if he were dying. He was
almost skeleton and his little hands
we're thin like claws.
He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies.

Ointment and he was SO soothed that
he could sleep. You don't know how
glad l was he felt better. 1t took one
box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty
near one cake of Cuticura Soap to
cure him. / think our boy would have
