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
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, | asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The infiamma
ton 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 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 I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again | tried various remedies, among
them prescription from doctor Of
q friend of mine, who had suffered
from ike trouble. lnlS seemed 10
help somewhat for time, but it was
not permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was so irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that ! could not use It,
| began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. / had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my childrens
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 | could | 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 inflam-

OF $2,93S.270.15 and the savings de-
posits $2,659,292.49

GuNBoAT MARIETTA, WITH ONE
MAN DEAD AND 9 SERIOUSLY
ILL, HAsTENs TO KEY WEST.
THERE ARE ABOUT ONE HUN
DRED AND FIFTY MEN
ABOARD THE MARIETTA.
The Marietta Has Been in Hondurar
Waters During the Bonilla
Revolution.

With nine men aboard i'll. possibly
with yellow fever, the American gun
boat Marietta has arrived at Key
West, Fla She sailed from Central
American waters under orders from
the navy department, which were is
sued as soon as the officials were
advised that the stricken men were
suspected of having yellow fever.
1t is now suspected that the death
of Coxswain Minor, OF the Marietta.
few days ago possibly was caused
by yellow fever. Originally the be-
died of dengue fever. There are
about $50 men aboard the Marietta.
1t is explained by the navy depart
ment that the Marietta was ordered
to Key West because the public
health and marine hospital service
has a hospital at Dry Tortugas, of
the coast of Florida, ideally adapted
to the isolation of the patients and
the treatment of the disease il ii de-
velops it is yellow fever.
None of the officers of the vessel
has yet been seized by the illness.
so far as the department is advised.
The medical officers on board the
Marietta, ii is said, undoubtedly will
be able TO diagnose the disease be-
fore the vessel reaches Key West.
The navy department was advised
of the illness among the crew of the
American vessel in a wireless dis
patch received from Commander Coop
Ell of the Marietta. 1t Is not certain
that the disease is yellow fever, and
the naval officer in his report specific
ally stated that the outbreak was only
suspected of being the dread malady.
The department was unwilling to
take any chances and for that reason
Immediately ordered the vessel to an
American port where the proper meas
ures could be taken for the treatment
OF the stricken seamen and the pro-
lection of the remainder of the crew.
The departure of the Marietta from
Honduran waters will not materially
affect the necessary naval representa-
ton of the United States in Central
America in connection with the b.
