NOT FOR MRS. PILKINSTON
Wife of Husband, Drafted for the
War, booked With Disfavor on
Proffered Substitute.
Mr. Pllkinston, a small farmer in
Pennsylvania, was drafted for the
service of his country during the
Civil war. His wife, though she pos
sessed but a small stock of informa
tion, was one of the best conjugal
partners, and she was much troubled
at the thought of parting with her
husband. As she was engaged In
scrubbing off her doorsteps, a rough
looking stranger came up and thus
addressed her:
"I hear, ma'am, that your husband
has been drafted."
"Yes, sir, he has.," answered Mrs.
Pllkinston, "though, dear knows, i
there's a few men that couldn’t better
be spared from their families."
"Well, ma'am, I've come to ofler
myself as a substitute for him."
"A what?" asked Mrs. Pllkinston,
with some excitement.
“I’m willing to tske Ills place," said ;
the stranger.
"You take the place of my husband, |
you wretch! I’ll teach you to Insult a
distressed woman that way, you vaga- ;
bond," cried Mrs. Pllkinston. as she
discharged the dirty soapsuds In the
fare of the discomfited and astonished
substitute, who took to his heels Just
in time to escape having his head ;
broken by the bucket.
IN AGONY WITH ITCHING
“About four years ago I broke out
with sores on my arms liko boils. Af
ter two months they were all over my
body, some coming, end some going
away. In about six months the bolls |
quit, but my arms, neck and body
broke out with an Itching, burning
rash. It would bum and Itch, and
come out In pimples like grains of
wheat. I was in a terrible condition; ;
I could not sleep or rest. Farts of my
flesh were raw, and 1 could scarcely !
bear my clothes on. ! cobid not lie
•n bed in any position and rest In
about a year the sores extended down
to my feet. Then I suffered agony
with (be burning. Itching sores. 1
could hardly walk and for a long time
I could not put on socks.
“Ait this time I was trying every
thing I could hear of, and had the skill
of three doctors. They said It was
enema. I got no benefit from all
this. I was nearly worn out. and had
given up In despair of ever being cured
when f was advised by a friend to try
Outkura Reinedle*. I purchased Cull*
cura Boap, Ointment, and Resolvent,
and used exactly as directed. I used
the Cutlcura Remedies constantly for
four months, and nothing else, and was
perfectly cored. It la now a year, and
I have not had the least bit since, i
am ready to praise the Cutlcura Rem
edies st any time. fBIgnedl K. L.
