cluded that he liked the way she did
her hair, though for the life or him
he could have given no description of
1t. The impression was pleasing, that
was all. She sat between him and
the window, and he noted that her
hair was light brown, with hints of
golden bronze. A pale sun. shining In.

PlTlFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few days after birth we noticed
au inflamed spot on our babys hip

weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have stitch Of

pronounced it chronic eczema, He Is
very able physician and ranks with

the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-

cura Soap and Ointment.
Not until i commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not

removing the scale from his head the
