FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct. l3, 1908, and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be a wa
ter blister would form. When it
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blsters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were a mass OF
scabs and you could not see a par
ticle of clear skin. other parts OF
his body were affected, but not TO
such an extent We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, in
deed some Of them only added to his
suffering and one In particular, the
- Remedy, almost put the infant
into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told us to
bathe the baby in buttermilk. This
did not do any good, so we took him
TO a hospital. He was treated as an
out-patient twice a week and he got
worse, If anything. We then called
in another doctor and inside OF
week the boy was, to all appearances.
cured and the doctor said his work
was done. But the very next days IL
broke out as bad as ever.
I'VE decided that it could not be
cured and must run its course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged TO
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival in Duluth, the Cuti-
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and soon the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per-
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease. There has
been no return this time. We still

The Worth OF the Voice.

How wonderful is the human voice!
IL is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye, and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet
of old in the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning bush. The
soul of man is audible. not visible.
A sound alone betrays the flowing of
the eternal fountain. invisible to man.
