Whole Body Raw with Eczema ?
Life was Intolerable? Was Even
Incased in Plaster? Discharged
from Hospitals as Hopeless.
SUFFERED 14 YEARS
CURED BY CUTICURA
" From the ago of threo months until
fifttvti years old, my son Owen's lifo
wils lliuuv imuivr
al>lo by eczema in
its worst form. Ho
will nil right until
a rod broke
out on his fore
head. but wo were
not alarmed at first.
Very soon, however,
the rash began to
spread ovor his head
arid shoulders and
it caused him groat
discomfort. I took
mm to a doctor ami trtea nnu n aozen
other treatments, nil with tho Kama
result ? no improvement at all. The
dl-j'.'iso gradually spread until nearly
every part >>f his body was quite raw.
Wo had to strap him down in l>ed, for
he used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep, The agony h?> went through
is quite beyond words. No one thought
we would rear him. The regimental
doctor, a very clever man, pronounced
the ca?e hopeless; at least, he said tho
only hope was that he might, if ho
lived long enough, outgrow it to some
extent. We had him in hospitals four
times anil he was pronounced one of
the worst cases, if not the worst, ever
admitted. From each he was dis
charged as incurable; in fact he got
worse under the successive treatments.
At one hospital they incased him in
plaster, and this seemed to aggravate
the soreness terribly. He looked so
badly that no one liked to go near him
and hi? life was a burden to him. We
kept trying remedy after remedy, but
we had g >t almost past hoping for a
cure. Six months ago we purchased
a set of t "tit i< ura Soap. Ointment, and
Itevlvent Pills and jH'rsevered with
them. The result was truly marvelous
and t >-day he is perfectly cured, his skin
not having a blemish on it anywhere.

A Postal Romance, j
By M. QUAD.
[Copyright, 1908. by T. C. McClurt.J
Inspector Graham of the postal servr
let* ha ppened to Wat Chestnut Grove at
the tliue the postmistress died, and he
I took charge of the office aud ell J what
he could In other directions. The de
I ceased had ? left two daughters, one
j twelve and one eighteen. Squire Davis
| and two or three others scarcely wait
ed the burial of the widow before plan
ning for the poatmasterahlp and Invoic
ing the aid of the Inspector. This they
did not receive, hoypVer. He promptly
recommended Bessie, the eldest daugh
ter. for the place, nnd she was shortly
appointed.
For the next year the postofflce at
Chestnut Grove was the best conduct
ed of any on the Inspector's route. Not
the slightest fault could be found in
any direction. Had the Inspector vis
ited the office four times in tne year he
would have covered his Instructions,
but his calls were made much oftener.
Before the year was up Miss Bessie
had to admit to herself that the In
spector was showing something be
sides official Interest, and the knowl
! edge embarrassed aud pained her. She
had learned that he was free to marry,
j And why all these visits If he was not
In love with her? The girl had a se
i cret. It was a secret from the In
j speetor only, and she trembled every
time he came for fear that he would
discover It. A dozen different village
gossips could have betrayed that se
cret. but they had not lbeen encour
aged to talk. Squire Davis had (\ften
had It at his tongue's end, but had
I checked himself and said:
"Not a word from me. I said there
would be a scandal, aud there will be."
The girl postmistress had entered
upon her second official year, and In
spector Graham had arrived to pay
one of his semi-social calls, when he
was met by a storm of excitement. He
had been doing a great deal of think
ing during the past three months. He
had satisfied himself that he was real
ly and truly In love with Bessie and
wanted her for a wife, and he believed
that he had fouud favor In her eyes.
On this occasion he meant to tell his
love and know his fate.
"This Is what has happened," said
Squire Davis, who was the first to
meet him as be stepped off the cars.
"A registered letter containing $50 for
me has been lost In the mall.
"But .Miss Jordon couldn't have
taken your letter," protested the sur
prised and |>erturbed Inspector.
"Mebbe not, but what about that fel
ler who's been hanging around there
for a year?"
The inspector was an official now In
stead of a friend, ne at once got to
work on the trail of the missing letter,
and before night he assured hlmsejf
that It had actually passed through
the office at Sand Hill, which was next
on the east. This being so, it must
have arrived at Chestnut Grove. The
night of Its arrival was a very stormy
one, aud there was no one In after
mail until long after It had been dis
tributed. Inspector Graham sat In the
office and thought It out and knew that
the letter had arrived and been taken.
He could not bring himself to believe
that Miss Bessie was 'the thief, and
yet it hurt him to think that It might
have been taken by another? by the
young man to whom Squire Davis had
alluded. The girl had had a lover for
a year past and had concealed the fact
from him. It didn't occur to him that
it was her right and that he had really
no business to know, but he felt that
an Injury hud been done him. There
was but one way out of the business,
aud he took It. As be called the post

He Is now a member of the Pennsy'

"What first impresses the tourist

Harris yesterday. "You travel for

"Miss J union," he began, "did Henry
WUIktuis assist you to distribute the
mall on the (venlpg of the 4th?"
"Y-yes," she Ircplled as her fuee went
mite.
i "And Henrjr Williams t t the let

"I? I can't be sure," sht jald as she
broke down and sobbed.
"You never told me that you had a
lover."
' "N-o. i didn't? didn't think."
"Why did he take the letter?"
"Oh, sir]" sobbed the girl, "he want
ed to go away and tin*} work and earn
'iponef so that we coeld be? be mur

have taken It, but we'll pay It all back."
"And he loves you?" asked the In
spector, with a lump In his throat.
"He does. I know he does, and If
anytblug was to happen to Billy"?
When the Inspector crossed the street
to the Inn Squire Duvis was still in his
office, hoping to hear that an arrest
had been made.
"Well, will the girl lose her place
and be sent to prison?" be asked as
Graham came In.
"Ko."
"But why not? She certainly got my
$50."
"You didn't logo ^50. You lost only J
$10. You had that sent to you hoping J
It would be taken. It was taken, but |
not by Miss Jordoo. Henry WUllams
Is the one, and there's your money

"But, sir, I demand" ?
"You'd better drop It, squire. Yon

you've been Itching to be postqyister I

And when morning came Inspector !
Graham went back to the postofflce to j
say:
"Miss Jordon, that registered letter
is ull right. Squire Davis has received j
It. Anfl now, as I shall ask to be

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tlon of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Scienc
has proven catarrh to be a constitu- j
tional disease and therefore requires!
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken Internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucou

one hundred dollars for any case it
falls to cure. Send for circulars and
