WHITE PIMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom, Ill.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
Of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for a few months, then it
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts Of his body 1t was
more like water coming out Of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep, restless all night.
"The sores were horrid to look at.
II lasted until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an &C.
zema advertisement in the paper to
use -, but it did nc good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura ONT
ment on thick at bed time and put a
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then We washed it clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
twice a day, and he was completely
cured" (Signed) Mrs. E. F. Sulzber-

ternoon. 1t was the occasion Of the
generals first formal speech to a New

district attorney. perhaps, were
holster, though not less enthusiastic,
than the ovation TO the distinguished

dence that Mr.. Whitman's work in
this city Of exposing graft and getting
sinners to repent is highly appreciated
by the Salvation workers and their
friends.
Eva Booth introduced the district
attorney as presiding officer. Mr.,
Whitman, in a short address, praised
the work of the Salvation Army. and
extended a hearty welcome to General
Booth. whom he presented to the au-
dience. General Booth was much af-
