Little Girl's Obstinate Case of
Eczema ? Instantaneous Relief
By Cuticura ? Little Boy's Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
of Torturing Sores ? Grateful
Mother Says:
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"
'"In reply to your letter I write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little (jirl treated by a
very prominent physician for an obsti
nate case of eczema, I resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physician's prescription and relied en
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Puis. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
ha* been no recurrence of the trouble.
"In July of this vear a little boy in
our family poisoned Kis hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours nis hands and arms were a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing hie hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura Oint
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In aoout three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
it coats from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.
Respectfully, Mrs. lizzie Vincent
Thomas. Fairroount, Walden's Ridge,

his fac* as delicately chiseled as
though It were of marble, his lithe,
light fraiLe and that suggestion of ab
solute cojrage. iron resolve, under
neath the almost feminine tiulness of
the features. He was one of the in
timates of Scobeleff? Indeed, the men
were so attached to each other that
Scobeleff nearly always insisted that
McGahan should share his tent with
hlci. and McGahan was in the tent of
Scobeleff the night after the disas
trous assault on Pievna. Scobeleff
was. said McGahan, a wonderful pic
ture of the horrors and terrors of war.
His face was black with powder, his
uniform was In rags, and his sword
was twisted like a corkscrew. It la
evident from this description that Sco
beleff took part with his own hund in
some of the work of the day. Thera
was a sequel, by the way. to this pie
ture 1 am not quite sure whether
McGahan published it, but he told 11
to me. Scobeleff was always a dandy.
Even in leading a charge he was dress
ed with dandlcal precision. In the
middle of the night McGahan was
woke up. and he saw Scobeleff dress
Ing himself with great care, putting
on a new uniform and even perfuming
his hair and clothes. And then cajut
another transformation. Scobeleff. his
elaborate toilet tinished. sat down on

Mrs. Isabella Bishop, whose travel J
la different parts of the world secured
for her membership in the British Roy
al Geographical society, visited Ameri
ca when she was a young woman. She
was unused to travel and was aloue
when she had the following experi
ence:
Once in a train going to New York
she was dreadfully tired, and yet she
had a feeling that if she went to sleep
the mau sitting next her would pick
her pocket. She struggled for some
time against her Inclination to sleep;
but. having for a moment given way.
she awakened to feel the hand of her
neighbor gently withdrawing her purse
from her pocket.
In her purse, besides some money,
which was, comparatively speaking, of
small moment, was her baggage check.
That was the only thing that really
mattered. If she accused her neighbor
of theft, nothing was simpler for him
than to drop the purse out of the open
window beside which he was sitting.
No; she determined she would leave
any interference until they arrived at
their destination.
She sec u ret 1 the services of a porter
and. with apparent calmness. 1'ollowed
her traveling companion down the
platform. Having described her bag
gage to the porter, she at the critical
moment bowed slightly to the pick
pocket and. with an airy smile, said,
"This gentleman has my baggage
check." And he immediately presented
It to her.
