CURED BY CUTICURA

"Since the year 1804 I have been

cako of Cuticura
Soap, and 1 am
pleased to say that I am now completely
cured and well.
"It was inipossiblo for mo to get
employment, ns my face, head, and
body wcro covered with it. The
eczema first appeared on tho top of
iny head, nnd it had worked all tho
way around down the back of my neck
and around to my throat, down my
body and nround the hips. It Itched
bo I would bo obliged to scratch it,
and the flesh was raw.
"I would first wash tho nfTcctcd
parts with warm water nnd Cuttcura
Soap, and then npply Cuttcura Oint?
ment and let it remain on all night, and
in the morning 1 would use Cuticura
Soap. I am now nil well, which all

Who is to Blame?
DANVILLE, VA., Dec. 8.?The
i blame for the wreck rests between
j the flagmnn of train No. S2 who was
I Injured, nnd one or (ho other of the
? operators at Danville and Noanolis
block stations. Whon the freight
came to a standstill it was the duty
of the flagmnn to go back and placo
a dnngor hIrihiI for any approaching
train and the informntlnn so far
shows tliat hn did tint, do this. Op?

Bonding and receiving of orders of n
