TWENTY YEARS OF
TERRIBLE ITCHING
Untold Agony, Ashamed to BE Seen
Nothing Helped. ResInoI Instantly
I Relieved and trouble Passed Away.

Such is the story of Thomas G. Hull,
New Haven, Conn. Every sufferer
from tormenting skin troubles should
profit by his experience, told in his
own words:
"For twenty years or more I was
troubled with terrible itching of the
body, arms and legs. I suffered un-
told agony; could hardly sleep at
night, and was actually ashamed to be
seen. l obtained a small jar of Resi-
mol Ointment, applied same, and was
instantly relieved. I then purchased a
cake Of Resinol Soap and used it in
connection with the Ointment. The
itching o became less, and in a
short time entirely passed away"
AS Mr.. Hull's letter shows, Resinol
Ointment stops itching instantly. Used
with Resinol Soap 1t Is the quickest,
easiest, and most economical treat
ment for eczema, rashes, letter, ring
worm, pimples and other skin affec-
lions, as well as for burns, scalds,
boils, ulcers and itching, bleeding and
inflaTsd piles. Recommended and
sold by your druggist, (Soap, 25c.,

CRAZY WITH ECZEMA

IT, the undersigned, cannot give
enough praise to the Cuticura Rem

least a year for eczema on my foot. I
had tried doctor after doctor all to
no avail. When a young girl / sprained
my ankle three different times, paying
little or no attention to it, when five
years ago a small spot showed upon
my left ankle. l was worried and sent
for a doctor. He said 1t was eczema.
He drew a small bone from the ankle
about the size of a match and about
an inch long. The small hole grew
to about the size Of an apple, and the
eczema spread to the knee. The doc
tors never could heal the hole in the
ankle. The whole foot ran water all
the time.
"My husband and my sons were up
night and day wheeling me from one
room to another in the hope of giving
me some relief. l would sit for hours
at a time in front of the fireplace
hoping for daybreak. The pain was
so intense / was almost crazy, in fact,
l would lose my reason for hours at
a time. One day a friend of mine
dropped in to see me. No more had

claimed: Mrs. Finnegan, why in the
world don't you try the Cuticura Rem

tors and their medicines, and not be-
ing able to sleep at all, I decided to
give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment a trial. After using them
three days that night l slept as sound
as a silver dollar for eight long hours,
/ awoke in the morning with but very
little pain, in fact, l thought I was
in heaven. After using the Cuticura
Remedies for three months I was per

GREATEST LESSON OF LIFE
The One Thing Above All That a
Woman Should Be Quick to Learn
and Remember.

The woman who makes good must
be blessed with strength and health,
and an ambition to learn and take ad-
vantage of every opportunity that
comes her way. She must work with
all her heart and play with all her
heart; above all things avoiding in
difference.
Hers is the temperament that rec
ognizes that encouragement Is all
nice and pretty, but If one is going to
do the thing that counts one doesn't
need it; that refuses to be dismayed
by repeated failures and that has a
certain faith that what has been done
by many may be done by another;
that nobody goes through life with
out disappointments, heartaches and
the breaking of pet Illusions; that
there is nothing more common than
trouble, but that it is the wise ones
of earth that keep 1t in the back
ground. That's the great lesson of
life.-Exchange.

said Mr.. Davis, holding on to the
bars and yawning. By and by an old
negro came limping along the street
toting a whitewash bucket.
Hello, Uncle Eph'm,' says the one
in the window.
"Howdy,' says Ephraim, limping
on. -
