NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

Il have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as nurse.
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every instance.
I always recommended the Cuticura
Remedies as they always gave entire
satisfaction. One case in particular
was that of lady friend of mine who,
when a child, was afflicted with &c
zema which covered her face and
hands entirely, breaking out at inter
walls with severer torture. She could
not go to school as the Disagreement
looked terrible. I told her to get at
once set of tho Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one Of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
I have also seen them cure children
of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck, and after
treatment with Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. they were completely cured.
MY husband had rheumatism on his
arm and used the Cuticura Ointment.
1t made his arm as timber and nice.
whereas it was quite stiff before !
began to apply the Ointment.
Last May l had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
in the side of my toe. 1 cut the nail
out Of the cavity it made, and Of
course applied the Cuticura Ointment
to the part affected 1t soothed 1t and
in less than ten nights 1t was all
healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago. had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil

completely cured them. have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies

PECULIAR AFTER EFFECTS
OF GRIP THIS YEAR.


Doctors in all parts Of the country

of grip which has visited so many
homes. The symptoms of grip this
year are very distressing and leave

particularly the kidneys which seem
to suffer most, as every victim COM

bles which should not be neglected, as
these danger signals often lead to
more serious sickness, such as dread

report a large sale on DR.. kiImer's

say soon heals and strengthens the
kidneys after an attack of grip.
Swamp-Root is a great kidney, liver
and bladder remedy, and, being an
herbal compound, has a gentle healing
effect on the kidneys, which is almost
Immediately noticed by those who try
it. DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

Or else I can make the thing sad.

And yet, here's the chance to be gloomy

Would fill you with laughs for week;
The other you'd read in your ingle
With tears coursing down either cheek

o, shall 1t be glum or glad?
Would that from this point I might
wriggle!
It may be made funny or sad.

The woman who keeps house" has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, Homework becomes
a heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it.
Backache, bearing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells. faintness, fits of blues" and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills ap-
pears, together with discolored condi-
ton of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Deans Kidney Pills have helped great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means so much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison
GUS, dangerous nor habt-forming drugs.
Doan's are harmless for children too.

then, for small charge, churn it into
