SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN

when my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and ran a
watery fluid. We tried everything we
could but he got worse all the time,
till it spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got so
bad that he came near dying The
rash would itch SO that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and a thin
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. I had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was so weak
and run down that he took fainting
spells as if he were dying. He was
almost skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
"He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies
had not laid him down in his cradle
in the daytime for long while. I
washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put on one application of Cuticura
Ointment and he was SO soothed that
he could sleep. You don't know how
glad I was he felt better It took one
box Of Cutcura Ointment and pretty
near one cake of Cuticura Soap to
cure him. I think our boy would have
died but for the Cuticura Remedies
and l shall always remain firm
friend Of them. There has been no
return of the trouble. I shall be glad
to have you publish this true state
ment Of his cure" (Signed) Mrs. M.

pressed, Matilda hurried swiftly pas,
The camp, down steep clay road ant!
on to the bayou. bridge that led t'
rural delivery box No. 33, on the othec'
side.
1t was gusty, disagreeable day. Al
intervals, the rain whipped down IL
sheets, alternately slackening to {.
sticky, penetrating drizzle. The vino
tore at the willow branches that dipped
into the stream, and the waters of the
bayou writhed under it's violence
Half way across the bridge, an ag-
gressive gust suddenly seized the
girls umbrella and flung it viciously
into the turbulent, black water. Turn
ing involuntarliy, with futile grasp at
the flying parachute, Matilda abruptly
twisted her feet sideways, catching the
heel Of her boot in crack between
the planks. Just then, an angry
cloudburst broke relentlessly upon the
unprotected head of the hapless pris-
oner, and with hands tightly gripping
the railing of the bridge, she waited,
with what patience she could CON-
mand. for its fury to subside.
When at last she could get her
breath, she lifted her head and looked
about her, struggling frantically to re-
lease the mutinous heel. But to no
avail. Every jerk and pull seemed to
make 1t that much more secure. What
should she do?
She strained her eyes up and down
the bridge in desperation, but not a
human being was In sight. She wait
ed, perhaps fifteen minutes. Then
she stopped and made another wild
effort to dislodge the boot. In so do
ing, she wrenched her ankle, so that
further attempts to free herself were
both painful and fruitless. With a
sigh she leaned against the railing
and bit her white lips to keep them
from trembling
Presently the wind ceased. the rain
shrank back into the clouds, and the
lead of the sky broke up in patches Of
blue and silver With renewed hope,
Matilda scanned the road from east to
west. And then, glory of glories! a
man was just heaving into view on the
brow Of the hill opposite She watched
him eagerly, thankfully. But as he
came nearer, near enough for her to
recognize the broad, straight shoulders

came acquainted with young man
who paid her considerable attention
He called here frequently and in a
short time close friendship was
formed.
"One day he told her he was in a
very serious predicament, saying that
he needed a considerable amount of
money and didn't know where to get
it. He asked her for a loan, saying
he would repay it soon. My daughter
did not have that much money. but
told him she could get it from the
firm
knowing the young man so we'll
and believing him to be perfectly hon.
est, she complied with his request by
taking some of the firms money and
giving it to him, never suspecting but
that it would be returned soon."
Soon after she made the loan the
man disappeared, leaving no message,
and Miss Cotton was obliged to bor-
row the money to make good her
shortage.
The firm never missed the money
and she was never questioned, but
from that time on, according to her
father, she began to worry. She be-
came nervous, her health failed and
she left her position. Finally she be-
came subject to fainting spells that
resulted in her death.
Her father, who is employed by the
Deering Harvester company, attributes
the death of his daughter to the worry
and distraction over the loan incident
and the fainting spells which followed
