EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

1T is just year ago that my SIS
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as If she had sand in them.
Then we used all Of the home rene
dies She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said 1t was very severe disease, and
If she did not follow his orders close
~ she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them, and gave her various
otntments. In the two and a half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm
provement.
Then we had read so much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought we would try 1t, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used it. MY sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after a month there was no
longer any mucus or watering Of the
eyes. She could already see better,
and in six weeks she was cured"

A FOOD STORY
Makes a Woman OF 20 "one In 10000"

The widow Of one Of Ohio's most
distinguished newspaper editors and
q famous leader in politics in his day,
says she is 20 years old and a ''stron-
ger woman than you will find in ten
thousand" and she credits her fine
physical condition to the use Of Grape
Nuts:
Many years ago l had terrible
fall which permanently injured my
stomach. For years / lived on a
preparation of corn starch and milk,
but 1t grew so repugnant to me that |
had to give it up. Then tried, one
after another, dozen different kinds
of cereals, but the process Of diges-
ton gave me great pain.
at was not until l began to use
Grape-Nuts food three years ago that
found relief. It has proved, with the
dear Lords blessing. a great boon to
me. It brought me health and vigor
such as / never expected to again en-
