"CUTICURA TR?ATMENT
IS A BLESSING"
"At all times and to all people I am
willing to testify to the merits of Cu
t icura. It saved life from worse than
the tort un - of hades, about the year
1900, with itching on my scalp and
temples, and afterwards it commenced
to break out on my hands. Then it
broke out (.11 my limbs. 1 was advised
to use salt and water, which 1 did, to
noeffe>t. I then went toa Surgeon, who
commenced treating me with a wash of
borax. This treatment did me no good,
but rather aggravated the disease. I
then told him 1 would <:o and see a phy
sician in trie. The reply was that I
could go anywhere, but a case of
ce/.enui like mine could not la- cured;
that 1 wits too old (.SO). 1 went to an
eminent doctor in the city of Erie and
treated with him for six months, with
like residts. I had read of the Cu
ticura Remedies often. 1 was strongly
tempted to give them a trial, so i sent
for the Cuticura Soap. Ointment, and
Resolvent ami continued taking the
Resolvent until 1 had taken six bottles,
Mopping it to take the Pills. I was now
getting U tter i took two baths a day,
and at night 1 1ft the lather of the Soap
dry on. I used the Ointment with
great effect after washing in warm
water, to stop the itching at once. I
am now cured.
''The Cuticura treatment is a blessing
and should be used by every one who
has itching of the skin. I can't say any
more, and thank God that He has given
the world such a curative. You can
use this letter as you please. A very
much befriended man. Win. H. Gray,

THE HUMAN BRAIN.
Km Capacity to Itecelve tin* Imnrcs
Mioim <?t* a Lifetime.
Authorities dlfl'er as to the capacity
of tin- average brain to receive tin" im
pressions of a lifetime. It is pretty
well believed that there is in the brain
a center of con-vrvatlon distinct from
the center of perception. We of course
know nothing as to the nature of the
relation of brain cells to precepts ana
conservation, but we do know that
there must be a relation. The re
searches of llainmerberg and Thomson
show lb it the number of cells In II ?
brain is o.suo.nno.ouo. All stiinnli, ex
ternal (through the live sensesi or In
ternal (through processes), must leave
some tri ce upon these cells, chemlcn!,
physical or dynamic. These stimuli
are composed of all sorts of precepts
words ...id sounds hoard: tilings and
Words st-en: objects felt, tasted, siueli
eil: sensations perceived ill our own
bodies: houuhls pushing upward Into
consciousness. And a little relleetioa
will shew how innumerable such im
prints must be in the course of a single
\vakinp day.
Even without reading, the resideilt of
a city must receive an incalculable
tnimlxr of impression* upon bis brain
every twenty four li mrs. The lvadi-jg

only guess at the number, bat a fair es
timate would be aboul a twentieth, or,
say. .ViO.ihhi.ikiii. wlii.-h in a lifetime of
sixty years would allow us about 'Si, -
tmn >-p||s a day for Ilie perception and
cons 'rvatioii of words and sen I euros
read. These llgtllvs may have 110
?sclent 1 lie value, but at :u:y rate they
emphasize a very important fact, and
that is that our brain capacity is limit
ed and that we should be sparing of
