HANDS WOULD
BURN LIKE FIRE
Could Lay Pin in Cracks. Four Long
Years of Eczema. Only ReIiefin
Scratching. Used One Set
of Cuticura Remedies.
Hands Entirely Well.

can truthfuliy say Cuticura Reme
dies have cured me Of four long wears
OF eczema. About four years ago |
noticed some little pimples coming on
my little finger, and not giving it any
attention, it soon became worse and
spread all over my hands. If l would
have them IN water for long time.
they would burn like fire and large
cracks would come. 1 could Law a pin
IN them. After using all the salves
could think of, / went to three different
doctors, but all did me no good. The
only relief / got was scratching.
So after hearing SO much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, | pur-
chased one complete set, and after using
them three days my hands were much
better To-day my hands are entirely
vel, one set being all used (Signed)
Miss Eta Narber, r. F. D. 2, Spring
Lake, Mich, Sept 20, 1910.
No stronger evidence than this could
be given of the success and economy of
the Cuticura Remedies in the treatment
OF torturlng, disfiguring humors of the
skin. A single hot bath with Cuticura
Soap and a gentle amounting with Cuti-
cura Ointment are often sufficient to
afford immediate relief in the most dis
tresslng cases and permit rest and sleep
when all else fails Cuticura Soap and
Ointment are equally effective in pre-
serving, purifying and beautifying the
skin, scalp, hair and hands.
Although Cuticura Soap C25c.) and
Cuticura Ointment (5Oc.) are sold
throughout the world, a liberal sample
of each, with 32-p. book on the skin and
scalp, will be mailed free on application

Fox in *. c. Zoo.

Kansas City. Dec. 2S.-Death from
natural causes has stalked into the
swope park Z in this city and bore
away Manana. a flying fox, whose

national Importance. Manana died
peacefully, not knowing that his con-

president of the Missouri Audubon So
ciety, protested against the harboring
of the flying fox at the zoo and asked
that federal authorities destroy it,

law since 1902 because it preys on in
sect killing birds, and in that way is

partment of agriculture took notice. of
