Sight of Eye Destroyed by Disease
Tried Five Doctors but Grew
Worse? In Agony Eight Months
? Parents Discouraged, Until
They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
SORES DISAPPEARED
"Our little girl, one year and a half
old, ???as taken with eczema or that waa
what the doctor said it was. We caHod
In tho family doctor and ho gave some
tablets and said she would b? all right
In a few davs. The eczema grew worse
and we called in doctor No. 2. He
?aid she was teething, as soon as the
teeth were through she would be all
right. But she still grew worse. Doc
tor No. 3 said it was ecaema. By this
time she was nothing but a yellow
greenish sore. Well, ne said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
a week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one of her
?yes. Of course we phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over and looked her
over and said that he could not do any
thing more for her, that we had better
take her to some eye specialist, sine? it
was an ulcer. So wo went to Oswego
to doctor No. 4, and ho said tho eye
sight was gone, but that he could help it.
W e thought we would try doctor No. 5.
Well, that proved the same, only ha
charged $10 more than doctor No. 4.
We were nearly discouraged. I saw
one of the Cuticura advertisements in
the paper and thought wo would try
the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and
purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies,
which cost me SI, and in three days
our daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week ail sores had dis
appeared. Of course it could not re
store the eyesight, but if we had used
Cuticura in timo I am confident that
It would have saved tho eye. Wo think
there is no remedy so good for any skin
trouble or impurity of the blood as

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK BODIES
Kidnap Dlaonaia Came Half tho Com'
mon Aoh?* and Ills of Aluka
F?opl?
As one weak link weakens a chain, so
weak kidneys weaken the whole body
and hasten the final broaking down.
Overwork, sfains, coldj and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when
their activity Is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess cf uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urniary Ills come, and there is an evtr
increasitg tendency towards dlabets
and fatal Bright's disease. T* ere is no
real help for tbe sufferer except kid- ,
nev help.
Doan'a Kidney Pills act directly on :
the kidneys and cure ev< rv kidney 111. 1
E. A. Suttnn, of 1 1 26 Walter St. , Sa
lem, Orrgon, says: "For ten or twelve j
years rheumatism and kidney trouble '
w is the scourge of my life and two or |
three times I was down on my b?clc on
recount of tbe pain being so severe. I
could hardly move owing to the lame
ness and had to leave my farir and come
into the city to doc or tor the trouble
but nothing seemed to bring me more
than temporary relief. I was In bad
shape just before I went to a drug store
and procured Doan's Kidney Pills. My
limbsflwoulp sca-cely support me and I
could only get around at times with the
greatest difficulty. Doan's Kidney
Pills benefited me at once and when
I had used used three boxes I was ab
solutely freo Irom every symptom of
my old trouble and my health was bet
ter than it had been for fourteen year.'
I can conscientiously say that Doans
Kidney Pills are the best remedy of the
kind I ever used or knew of,"
