FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born In Toronto on
Oct. 13, 1908, and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be wa
ter blister would form. When 1t
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blisters 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
battle 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 week and he got
worse, If anything. We then called
in another doctor and inside OF a
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
was done. But the very next day 1t
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, 1SO9'
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
use only Cuticura Soap for babys

should have been compelled to advise
the commission by wire the moment the
wreck occurred. When a long time
elapses between an accident and the
chances are remote that the real cause
will be ascertained.
No Report from Company.
Commissioner McChord said:
while We have no report from the
railroad that the wreck had occurred, I
caught Ham BeIknap, our chief in
spector at New York, and ordered him
by long distance telephone to the wreck
Immediately. Since that time he has
had with him three other inspectors, and
they are making the best possible in
Ivestigations, which will be promptly in
the hands of the commission.
Il notice it has been stated in the
papers that a probable cause Of the wreck
is that the engineer. who was formerly
a freight engineer, was working over
time. We have only four inspectors for
the whole United States. When we
find out that an engineer or conductor
or employe has been worked over the six
teen-hour limit, 1t is possible only to fine
the guilty party $500. There ought to be
a greater punishment than this for such
an offense.
There is no question that the commits
sion should be give full and free author
ity to enforce all of its regulations.
which are as much for the benefit of the
public as the railroads themselves.
do not care to express an opinion on the
cause OF this wreck in advance of the
report which we expect to receive.
Reporting by Wire.
'T might say in justice to the railroads,
that the question whether they shall
report accidents by wire is still under
discussion, but It is certainly the opinion
of the commission that reports should
be SO made, in view of the Importance Of
railroad disasters. To emphasize this, It
is only necessary to recall the fact that
last year 1000 persons were killed in
railroad accidents and 5000 were in
jured.
Notwithstanding the Importance of
competent inspection, we have only four
inspectors of hours Of service for the
whole United States, twenty-four in
spectors for safety appliances, and fifty
boiler inspectors.
'Tn my judgment, not only could the
law be well amended. so as to make
absolutely certain the precautions we
have suggested, but that further sug-
gestions shall be made, and think these
will be made What shape the sugges-
tions will take, I am not, Of course, at
liberty to say at the present time"
