EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

ut is just 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 battle 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 a doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said 1t was 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 Cuticura
that we thought we would try it, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used IL. 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"

preventative and cure for sore

WAS TAKING NO CHANCES
Chauffeur Had Had Enough Accidents

the audiences of New York's vaude-

Vermont to visit her sick mother AT
a town a few miles from her parent 8

asked the chauffeur to drive her with
as much speed as possible to her
destination
The roads were very bad, and the
car making good speed up hill and
down dale over rocks and ruts,
seemed bound to shake overheard it's
occupants.
After little of this jolting the
chauffeur turned to his fare and de-
manded:
Il say, ma'am. Do you wear false
teeth?"
What impudence!" exclaimed
That's X
"Oh, ma'am, it is not from impu-
dence," returned the chauffeur, that
| asked you the question. 1t is be-
cause the road is bad, the rocks are
hard, and if you wear false teeth, you
would do well to remove them until
we strike the pike. I've had enough
accidents of that description"
