A MARTYR TO ECZEMA.

Began with Teething and Lasted Twelve years—Tried Every Imaginable Treatment to No Effect— Mad with the Torture—Cured in Three Weeks by Cuticura. "My daughter, now thirteen years of age, had been a martyr to eczema on her body and head ever since cutting her teeth. Wo had a doctor off and on for the first five years, and have been trying different chemists from time to time, using many ointments, but to no effect. We tried everything imaginable and only kept hoping that she would outgrow it. At last, after suffering for twelve years, her body and head were a mass of sores and she was almost mad with it. Then I sent for a set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent Tills. After ten days' use of the Cuticura Remedies she began to get better. In three weeks there was not a vestige of eczema left. She only took one vial of the Cuticura Pills and w>» have some of the Soap and Ointment still.—Mrs. C. Brasier, High-street, Godstonc, Surrey, England, Aug. 8 and 12, 1907." • *

Light-fingered gentry are still doing lucrative business in Wellington (says th« Times), and cases of pocket-picking—with more or less success—are not uncommon. One of the latest was thati of a woman, who, having received a £10 note, decided to spend it to good advantage. She started on her mission, visited an establishment, made a purchase, ana felt for her money. It was gone—surreptitiously taken from a side pocket. : - '.
