Mrs. Enos Shearer , Yew and Wash
ington Sts. , Centralia , Wash. , says :
-For years I - wasweak and run down ,
xould not sleep , my limbs swelled and
It i d n e y secretions
were troublesome. I
was fast in bed four
months. Three doc

no cure for me and I
was given up to die.
Being urged , I used
Doan's Kidney Pills.
Soon I was better
and In a few weeks was about the
Louse , well and strong again. "

.ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA
"I , the -undersigned , cannot give
enough praise to the Cuticura Rem-
edies. Ivhad been doctoring for at
least a year for eczema on my foot. I
had tried doctor after doctor all tone
no avail. When a young girl I sprained
my ankle three different times , paying
little or no attention to it , when five
-years ago a small spot showed upon
my left ankle. I was worried and sent
for a doctor. 3Je said it was eczema.
He drew a small bone from the ankle
about the size of a match and about
an inch long. The small hole grew
to about tb'e size of an apple , and the
-eczema spread to the knee. The doctors -
-tors never could heal the hole in the
ankle. The whole foot ran water all
the time.
"My husband and my sons were up
night and day wheeling me from one
room td another in the hope of giving
me some relief. I would sit for hours
at a time in front of the fireplace
hoping for daybreak. The pain was
so intense I was almost crazy , in fact ,
I would lose my reason for hours at
a time. One day a friend of mine
dropped in to see me. No more had
she glanced at my foot than she ex-
ciaimed : 'Mrs. Finnegan , why in the
world don't you try the Cuticura Rem
edies ! ' Being disgusted with the doc
tors and their medicines , and not be
ing able to sleep at all , I decided to
give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment a trial. After using them
three days that night I slept as sound
.as a silver dollar for eight long hours.
I awoke in the morning with but very
little pain , in fact , I thought I was
-in heaven. After using the Cuticura
Remedies for three months I was per
fectly restored to health , thanks to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I
