ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA

Il, the undersigned, cannot give
enough praise to the Cuticura Rem
edies. l had been doctoring for at
least year for eczema on my foot. l
had tried doctor after doctor all to
no avail. When a young girl | sprained
my ankle three different times, paying
little Or no attention to it, when five
years ago small spot showed upon
my left ankle. | was worried and sent
for a doctor. He said it was eczema.
He drew small bone from the ankle
about the size of a match and about
an inch long. The small hole grew
to about the size OF an apple, and the
eczema spread to the knee. The doc
tors never could heal the hole in the
ankle. The whole foot ran water all
the time.
MY husband and my sons were up
night and day wheeling me from one
room to another in the hope of giving
me some relief. l would sit for hours
at time in front of the fireplace
hoping for daybreak The pain was
SO intense was almost crazy, in fact.
l would lose my reason for hours at
tllHe. One Qay friend OF mine
dropped in to see me- No more had
she glanced at my foot than she ex-
claimed: Mrs Finnegan, why in the
world don't you try the Cuticura Rem
edies'' Being disgusted with the doc
tors and their medicines, and not be-
ing able to sleep at all, ! decided to
give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment a trial. After using them
three days that night slept as sound
as silver dollar for eight long hours.
l awoke in the morning with but very
little pain, in fact, l thought I was
in heaven. After using the Cuticura
Remedies for three months / was per-
fectly restored to health thanks to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I

Many examples Of Chinese filial plety

Lao Laitsu. which Mr.. r. +. Johnston
repeats in his Lion and Dragon In
Northern China Laos parents lived
to such extreme old age that he was
himself toothless old man while
they were both still alive. "Conceiv-
ing it his duty to divert their atten-
ton from their weight Of years and
approaching end, he dressed himself
I'D In the clothes Of child and played
about in his parents presence with
the object Of making them think they
were still a young married couple con-
templating the innocent gambols OF
their infant son."
A similar case is that Of Wang Pou,
whose mother had an .tnconquerable
dread of thunder and lightning. When
she died she was buried IN mountain
forest, and thereafter, when violent
thunderstorm occurred, Wang P'ou,
needless Of the wind and rain, would
hurry to her grave and throw himself
to his knees. II am here to protect
you, dear mother" be would say.
