EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

"It is just a year ago that my sis
ter came over here to US. ,>She had
been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as If she had sand in them.
Then we used all of the home RENE
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to bathe them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
In the light. At last she decided to
go to doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said it was a very severe disease, and
if she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm
provement.
"Then we had read SO much how
people had been helped by iCuticura
that we thought we would try it, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used it. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better,
and in six weeks she was cured"

SUNSHINE AND GOOD HEALTH
Wherever Suns Rays Penetrate HUI
man Life Is Qulckened and Health
and Happiness Promoted.

The sunlight, with its mellowing
warmth and radiance, is one Of the
great essentials to good health.
Wherever it penetrates. in prudently
regulated moderation, 1t quickens nu-
man life, promotes health and happi-
ness, and may be truly regarded as
one of the best friends Of man and
beast. The common practice Of pro-
viding blinds, shutters, curtains and
other means for shrouding the win
dows and shutting out the sunshine, is
undoubtedly great mistake, and
makes for physical weakness and Ill
health. More window light, more sun
.hine, and not less, is what we re-
quire. Let all your apartments, kitch-
en-, sitting rooms, pariors and bed
rooms, too, be flooded with sunlight as
much as possible.

raised her warning and inspiring cry
he had realized that after ali a fortune
like that his aunt's property represent
ed was quite well worth the having.
I'm not attempting to deny, you see,
that there was enough of his old self
left, in spite Of the changes love had
brought about, not to make him rather
certain, now that Dearest had remind
ed him of 1t, that Aunt Georgy's AUS
tralian farm would not make half
bad sort of wedding present. At least
noticed that he lost no time In obey
ing her mandate, for no sooner were
the words out of her mouth than Ter
hume was in full cry for the staircase,
with Dearest and myself hard after
him, while couple Of fox terriers that

It is no wonder, then, having admitted

which Terhune's last throw for a for

with double meaning, has been vari-

Cure for Mushroom POISONING,

Recent experiments conducted In
France seem to indicate that persons
suffering from mushroom poisoning
may be cured by a serum prepared In
the same manner as the diphtheria
and rabies antitoxins. Selecting two
of the most dangerous varieties Of
mushrooms, the Amanita Phalloides
and the Amanita Mappa, for expert
ment, an extract Of their toxic princi-
pie was made Intraperitoneal injec-
lions Of this virus were then made
using rabbits for the experiments, In
che manner usual when preparing anti
toxin serums. At the end of four
months the rabbits we're found to be
completely immuuized and could eat
the most poisonous mushrooms with
out III effect. These tests were made
by Radias and Sartory and the report
of the results was made to the Acadia
unie des Sciences.
