ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was,
very restless at night, his little face

cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has

boy of his age, three years. We can

the fellow was coming, coming faster
than any speed I could possibly con-
jure out of the weary black bestrode,
either by whip or spur. Closer and
closer upon me came rushing down
that pounding of iron hoofs on the

the reckless audacity with which the
vengeful fellow bore down upon me.
In spite OF my utmost efforts It al

lines now as he rose on an eminence
in my rear, his horse looming dark
against the sky, like those giant
sleeds that snorted fire in my child's
'icture-uooks at home, and then, with
increasingly louder thunder of hoof-
beats, he came charging straight down
toward me. In sheer desperation I
glanced on either side, seeking some
avenue of escape. but the high banks
were unscalable; my sole remaining
hope lay in a shot which should drop

and crushed me. Riding my best,

down with the impetus. while over
