Eczema Began When Three Weeki

a Solid Scab. Boils Broke Out"
During Teething, Used Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and He Wa*
the Picture of Health.
"My son was about three weeks old wh?
I noticed s breaking-out on his checks, from
which a watery subunucu oosed. A short
time otter, his arms, shoulders and breast
broke out also, and In &
few d?jrs became a solid
?cab. I became alarmed,
and called our family
physician who at once
pronounced the disease
eczema. The little fellow
was tinder his treatment
for about thre* months.
By the end of that time,
he seemed no better, j
became discouraged. I
Iropped the doctor's treatment, and com?
mon ord the use of Cuticura Soap and Oint?
ment, and In a few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks was
tlmost healed, ana his shoulders, arms ana
reast were decidedly better. When he was
about seven months old, All trace of the
eczeijla was gone.
"During his teething period, his head and
face were oroken out In bolls which I cured
with Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Surely
he must have been a (treat sufferer. During
the time of teething and from the time I
dropped the doctor's treatment, I used the
Ciitlciua Soap and Cuticura Ointment,
nothing else, and when two years old he was
the picture of health. His complexion
was Foft and beautiful, and his head a mast
of silky curls. I had been afraid that he would
never be well, and I feel that I owe a great
deal to tile Cuticura Remedies." (Signed)

say that none of those engaged In
the new "AH White" Republican move?
ment there is an officeholder. This
statement, which is likely to he Inter?
esting gossip In the camp of tho op?
position crowd, Is as follows:
"In a recent Issue of your paper. In
which you refer to tho fact that tho
Slate Republican Executive Conimltteo
of South Carolina had warmly Indorsed
President Taft and pledged eighteen
delegates from the State for his re
nomlnaliou. you say:
"'This action or Ihe South Carolina
Reptibllciai leaders, who are largely
Federal officeholders, adds eighteen
delegates to tho Taft column.'
"As a matter of fact, the regular
Ropitbllcau organization of the State:
that Is. Its Executive Committee, com?
posed of the three otllce.rs. State chair?
man, vice-chairman and secretary, two
metnbers at large and three members
from each of the congressional dis?
tricts In tiie Stale, has not a Single
Federal officeholder upon Its commit?
tee, of which the writer Is a member, i
In addition to being the member of the
national committee for the State.
"There Is In the State a small coterio
of Federal otlleenoldcrs. augmented by
a number of more or less Irresponsible
persons, who claim to be the organiza?
tion. So far they hove Indorsed no one,
anil it really makes very little differ?
ence whom they Indorse, as they will
have no Influence In party affairs,
and do not ropresent the Itcpnbllcans
In the South, who ore at heart trylngto
build up a high-class militant, Re?
publican party." P. H. MoT..
