PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

Il 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 1t was
not for a year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inflamma-
ton and suppuration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was so painful that / 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. I 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 1 tried various remedies, among
them prescription from a doctor OF
q friend of mine, who had suffered
from like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for a time, but 1t was
not a permanent cure; next tried q
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 children's
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 I could. ! had not
used 1t but few weeks before my
nails were better, and in a short time
they were apparently wen. There
was no more suppuration. nor infam-
nation, the nails grew out clean
again. One box Of Cuticura Ointment
was all that I used IN ehecting q

theil, better known as Mother Ship
ton"
According to the text, many and
varied accounts have been published
OF the life of Mother Shipton. She
was the child of an orphan girl named
Agatha Sontheil, who lived near
the dropping well. Agatha was
born about 1472, or 20 years before
the discovery of America Her child
was misshapen. The date of her birth
is set at July. 1888. After the childs
birth-it was named Ursula-the
mother retired to a convent.
Ursula Sontheil grew into an unusu-
ally keen girl, though she was far
from lovely, being of Indifferent size,
with large bones, crooked limbs, long
nose and goggling eyes.
Her mental powers were first no
ticed by her ability as a youthful
scholar. She was said also to have
had a peculiar power over her school
fellows, and ability to pull their hair,
pinch them and throw them to the
ground without being near them.
Ursula was neither so ugly in per-
son nor so uncanny in mind that she
could not find husband, and when
"a years old she married one Toby
Shipton of Shipton, near York.
Thenceforth she was known as
Mother" Shipton. Her fame as a
prophecies was of gradual growth,
beginning locally. and extending
throughout England. Her first clients
were the neighborhood lassies who
wished solace or advice in matters of
the heart. After telling them as they
came whether lovers would be true
or false. Mother Shipton branched out
as a seeress in the broader affairs of
the nation, and finally of the entire
world, and counted among her clients
the nobility and high church digni-
taries.
Through frequent repetition in the
prints of the present time. her prophe-
cies are familiar. Many of them re-
lated to things that were to happen in
England, and did happen, such as the
accession of Queen Elizabeth and her
reign; the death of Mary queen of
Scots; the great plague OF London,
and the great fire; the various wars
of three centuries; the destruction of
the Spanish armada; the reign of
James /: the gunpowder plot; the
union in marriage of the royal houses
of England with those of German
blood and many other things.
The things of greater range foretold
| by Mother Shipton were Sir Walter
Raleigh's discovery and transporta.
ton to England of the tobacco plan,
and the potato. the automobile, the
| telegraph, iron ships, tunnels under
water, the steam engine and many
other things that have come into the
world as Mother Shipton foretold.
