PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with a very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with 1t, 1t came In
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days 1t would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
II consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
I used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then I
wrote for a book on Cuticura. and pur-
chased some C%uticura Soap and ONT
ment at the drug store. I did as I
found directions In the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was n year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she Is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

He looked at me In surprise. Il

I'll bet she Civ EN- a hot OIL time afore
she done quit"
Rumors of this state of affairs to
the north and west of our defending
lines had already reached m~e-indeed,
the veriication had formed part of my
instructions; but Bungay's homely yet
graphic description made the situation
appear terribly real, and my thought
went instantly forth to those | knew
who might even then be exposed to
this great and unexpected danger.
The very conception of Edith Bren-
nan in such hands a. these was agony.

of her safety. and since my order

aome perplexity. They were scattered
along the edge of the road, and only
one group had taken the precaution Il
huild a fire. The sergeant lay fla
upon his back on a grassy knoll.
"Ebers," | said sternly.
He arose ponderous, and came for
ward with a decidedly halting gait.
"Vos l sent for?" he asked.
YES" ! said; II want you to have
the men get their supper at once. as w

of the night. Get the men to thei
supper. We shall go on in an hour"
How often since have | smiled a
