PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

"I have suffered from the same trou-
BILE (painful finger nails) at different
periods of my life. The first time of
It's occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, I asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for a year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The infamma-
ton and suppuration began at the
base Of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was so painful that I had to use
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of Inflammation, possibly not more
than week or two afterwards. These
frequent inflammations 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.
Again I tried various remedies, among
them a prescription from a doctor Of
a friend of mine, who had suffered
from a like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for time, but it was
not a permanent cure; next tried
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was so irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that / could not use it.
I began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I 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 I could. bad not
used it but few weeks before my
nails were better, and in short time
they were apparently well. There
was no more suppuration, nor infiam-
nation, the nails grew out clean
again. One box Of Cuticura Ointment
was all that I used In effecting q
cure" (Signed) Mrs I. ]. Horton,
Katonah, N. T., Apr. 10, 1910. On
Sept. 81, Mrs. Horton wrote: II have
had no further return of the trouble
with my finger nails"

HAS A POUCH FOR MESSAGES
California Pigeon Fancier Produces a
Remarkable Result After Series
Cof Crossing.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Harry Sdeinell a
pigeon fancier of Sawtelle, a suburb
of this city, has bred a carrier pigeon
with a pouch in which to carry mes
sages.
He says lit has taken him seven
years to accomplish it. The bird, he
says, combines the swiftness of the
carrier pigeon with the horning in
stinct of the homer.
He got the idea in crossing various
breeds of pigeons and studying the re-
suits. The pouter pigeon when cross
ed with the carrier showed a marked
pouch ON the breast. He recrossed
the birds again and again, each time
the pouch becoming more pronounced.
He Will try ITO perpetuate the breed
from two pigeons with the biggest
pouches.

OPINION NOT ALWAYS FINAL
Pretty Safe to Say That Doctors

- in This Case.

The pretty daughter of physician
is engaged to a college student of
whom her father does not altogether
approve His daughter is too young
to think of marriage, the doctor as
serts; the college student IS too
young to think of it, likewise. 1t is
out of the question.
She explained all this to her lover
the other night.
Father says" she summed it up;
father says, dear, that l will have to
give you up"
The young man sighed. Then it's
all over?" he murmured, with gloomy
Interrogation. And the girl laughed
and blushed.

know that when the doctor gives you
up that's just the time for you to take
more hope. Isn't it sometimes that
way ?"-Reboboth Sunday Herald.
