RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
Itched So He Could Not Sleep

"On July 81. 1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with US. After being in Ireland
a few days nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc

The trouble started in the form of a
rash and was all over baby's body.

irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
When we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better. and it used to
itch and burn at night SO bad that the
child could not sleep. He was com
pletely covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti.
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement. and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have no fur.

This morning I photographed an

Hsrper's Weekly, the New York Even
ing Journal recently said: "The sad
story of colonel Harvey is this: He made
himself very useful to an ambitious gen.
tleman up to certain point-and that is
all he remembers. When he came to he
was lying In the hospital for broken
ladders, with a note pinned to his pillow,
saying; Il am done with you; please
don't support me any more, and don't
appear to know me. Yours truly, Gov
ernor WILSON, Colonel Harvey is the
bslf-brother OF every ladder that was ever
kicked down when the climber was done
with it. Colonel Harvey without STUN
BILE or buck was csreering on his fiery
course, carrying his precious freight to-
ward the White House, when suddenly
he was restrained The freight said,
"Whoa! Let me get off, Harvey knows
how Caeser felt when Brutus so unkindly
knocked, 1t is one of the ssddest stories
in politics."
