to be presumed that the young lady
sang the song with more plantiveness
and more effect than Old Abe had
ever heard it in Springfield.
During the song he arose from his
seat, crossed the room to a window In
the westward, through which he gazed
for several minutes with that sad, far
away look" which has so often been
noted as one of his peculiarities. His
memory, no doubt, went back to the
days of his humble life on the banks
of the Sangamon, and with visions of
old Salem and its rustic store came
a picture of the Gentle Annie" of his
youth, whose ashes had rested for
many long years under the wild flow
ers and brambles of the old rural bury
ing ground, but whose spirit then, per
haps, guided him to the side of mercy.
Then wiping his eyes, he advanced
quickly to the desk, wrote a brief note,
which he handed to the lady and in
formed her that it was the pardon she
sought.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

BILE painful finger nails) at different
periods OF my life. The first time of
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, l asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inflamma-
tion and suppuration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was so painful that l had to use a
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of Inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent intlammations resulted in the
loss OF the nail. / had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years later l began
again to suffer from the same trouble.

them a prescription from a doctor of

from like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for a time, but it was
not a permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was so irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that l could not use it.
l began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. / had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. ! did not use
the Soap exclusively, but / rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base Of
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as l could. I had not
used it but a few weeks before my
nails were better, and in a short time
they were apparently well. There
was no more suppuration, nor infam-

again. One box of Cuticura Ointment
was all that I used in effecting a
cure" (Signed) Mrs. I. ]. Horton,
