We had used cold creams and nil kinds of remedies, but nothing did her any good ; in fact, she kept getting worse. I used to wrap her hands up, and when I would dress her, I had to put her on the table, for I could not hold her. She would kick and scream, nnd when she could, she would tear her face and arms almost to pieces. I used four boxes of Cuticura Ointment, two cakes of Cuti cura Soap, and gave her the Cuticura Resolvent, and she was cured, and I see no traces of the humour left. lean truthfully say that they have saved . and 1 should advise any one suffering as she did, to give Cuticura a fair trial. Mrs. G. A. Conrad, Lis bon, N. H Feb. 7, 1898." FIVE YEARS LATER Mrs. Conrad Writes "It is with pleasure that I can in form you that the cure has been per manent. It is now six years since she was cured, and there has been no re turn of the disease since. I have ad vised a lot of friends to use Cuticura In all diseases of the skin."

Twenty years of experience upon the part of hundreds of thousands of users in every country of the world bear wit ness to the fact. No one disputes it. There never was a better time to make this all im portant farm investment than the present. Butter is un precedentedly high in price. It is most desirable to pro duce all possible of it, that none go to waste and that the quality be such as to command top prices. As between separators, DE LAVAL supremacy is universally conceded. DE LAVAL machines are actually cheapest, of equivalent capacities, while they gain and save twice as much as the best of imitating machines and last four times as long. If you have cream to separate you cannot afford to de lay this investment a single day. If you haven't the ready cash the machine will earn its cost while you are paying for it.
