BOY’S TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
—Hands Pinned Down—Miracu
lous Cure by Cuticura.
“When my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went to a third one. Mat
ters became so bad that he had regu
lar holes in his cheeks, large enough
to put a finger into. The food had to
be given with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest, and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. I think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
“We finally thought nothing could
help, and I had made up my mind to
■end my wife with the child to Eu
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
ently, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made a trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white
as never before. F. Hohrath, Presi

left England in October, 1903, to

PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and
Cream.
A Mass, physician has found a cure
for constipation in children — citing
fifteen cases—by feeding them Grape
Nuts.
‘'Some time ago,” he writes, “I be
came interested in your food, Grape
Nuts, as a cure for constipation in
children. Having tried it in my own
family, I have advised it in fifteen
cases in which all suffered with con
stipation more or less severe. The re
sult has been absolute relief in all.
“I write this that other children
may be benefited.”
How much better it is thus to bring
about a healthy action in the bowels
of growing children by natural means,
than to feed them with improper food,
requiring some kind of cathartic at
intervals to overcome constipation.
Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en
tire nervous system including the
nerves that cause the natural con
traction and relaxation of the bowel
muscles, that propel the food mass

easily absorbs the food as it goes
through the body, storing up vitality
and force for the functions of all the
Organs.
I Children especially, should get the
right start as to habits of living.
They should grow into bright, strong,
cheerful men and women. Grape-Nuts
solve the question of the start; a
wholesome appetite will do the rest,
i Childrens teeth are benefited by
chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your dent

of exercise in chewing firm food, is
necessary to grow strong, beautiful

as muscles, if they are to grow
Strong and firm as nature intended.
Grape-Nuts gives the exercise and
also gives material from which good
teeth are made.

“I go in. He jumps up from his
desk with a radiant, welcoming smile
and grabs my hand and shakes it till
my cuffs work loose from the but

spins it toward me and says: 'I’m
glad to see you, Billister, very glad.
I'm busy as I can be just now, but
I've got to talk to you a little. Let’s
see!’ Then he pulls out his watch
and looks at it. ‘H'm, yes! Now,
look here, 1 don’t want you to think
I’m finding fault with you. I appre

"Then he butts you?”
“You're dead right. There's some
thing I’ve sold too low. ‘There might
be a little profit in the coffee at that
price and it’s quite true we allow
our salesmen a little discretion in
such matters. But there doesn't seem
to be any good reason why we should
not have got from a cent to a cent
and a quarter more a pound for it.
A good salesman should be careful
about such matters. Speaking of care
fulness, there was that bill you sold
to Wrigley at Bilkersville. Now,
Wrigley’s rating isn’t just what it
should be, and Mr. Stebbs’—Stebbs is
the credit man—‘Mr. Stebbs was rath
er worked up about that order. He
may pay for the goods—’
“ ‘I looked him up at the court
house,’ I says, ‘and he seemed to me
good for all I could sell him and
about $20,000 over. He's got a first
class reputation, too. Paid off every
cent he owed when he sold his land
and got hold of a little cash.’
“ That's as it may be,’ he says.
‘Understand, I'm not finding fault
with you. On the whole, perhaps,
you've done as well as could be ex
pected. Perhaps better. But you
must understand distinctly that you
must be cautious. I don't approve
of recklessness. Your order from
Gammer was a rather small one com
pared with some he has given us.’
“I explain that I stocked him up
to the limit only about a month be
fore and he says: 'Keep on stocking
him to the limit. Don’t relax just be
cause you have done fairly well once
before. I like our salesmen to keep
up a steady pace, not to do business
spasmodically. You think over what
I have said on your run. And now—
wrell, well, it's past. Go and talk with
Stebbs now. Good-by.’
“He shakes hands again as friendly
as ever, but he's hurried. And you
know it's time to go. Sometimes he
tells me a confidential tale of woe
about the falling off in business gen
erally. I'm told that if you break
through his guard and get in your
request he asks you to put it in writ
ing, so that there will be a record
of it, if he can't stave you off by tell
ing you that such things adjust them
selves automatically. I have not got
beyond the first degree yet. flut wait

TWO WRITERS OF BIOGRAPHY.
Johnson and Boswell Exponents of
Different Schools.
It is an interesting fact in the his
tory of literary genres that two of
the great examples of biographical
writing occur almost side by side.
Less than a decade separates the com
pletion of Johnson’s "Lives of the
Poets”—happily honored in the new
edition of the late Dr. Birkbeck Hill
—from the publication of his own life
by Boswell. Yet with the latter book
a new type of biography came into
being. Johnson, in the main, had,
like most of his predecessors, fol
lowed a simple narrative and exposi
tory method, prefixing a plain story
of the poet's life to a systematic ac
count of his character and a critical
estimate of his works; he gathered
his fadts and impressions together
and spoke for the author and for him
self. Boswell, on the other hand,
making use of a more dramatic
method, succeeded in his attempt to
let the author reveal himself, and, in
stead of an exposition of character,
painted a picture of personality, to
which his own comments were sub
ordinate. What we see as a type of
mind and character in Johnson’s work,
we see as a living man in Boswell.—

The cotton crop of India was larg

average. About 20,000,000 acres were
planted in cotton and the yield was
about 3,500,000 bales. During the year
there were exported from India to
other countries over 2,125,000 bales
of raw cotton at a value of over $81,

as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and
how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they
' enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome
diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved,
not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri
ous or objectionable nature, and if at anytime a remedial agent is required, to assist
nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure
and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has
come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate
of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because
they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa
ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an
original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and
presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are
used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence
we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent
medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs
always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.— plainly
printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size
only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having
printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get
the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have
a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children,
whenever a laxative remedy is required.
