ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a 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
itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
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 a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the C%uticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box 1888, West Point, Neb..

and Ointment are sold by druggists

When a child sulks drowsily, or IL

buoyancy Of spirits.

positive In its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach. liver and bowels. It's easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
sirable in the case Of children, a dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at

movement OF the dog at his side, &C.
companied by a deep-throated growl.
He wheeled then to discover Black
stock close upon them. his burly body
swaying heavily az he came on at a

A second growl, that more resem-

to a standstill, with a hand moving
nervously toward the side pocket Of

visibly.

soberly; "a nightly slim chance-but
