two children, the oldest being 6 years of

it broke out la boils,
one after another.
She had about sixty
in all and I used
Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment
which cured her of
thementireJv. Then.
sometime later, her little foot got sore
between the toes. Being afraid It was
salt rheum, I spoke to our doctor, lit
gave ma a powder which dried it up,
but soon after it broke out behind her
ears. They cracked half way around
and the humor spread up on to her head
until, on several occasions, it was nearly
half covered. The humSr looked like a
scald, Tery red with a sticky, clear fluid
coming from it. This occurred every
year. I think it waa toward the spring.
I always bathed It with warm water and
Cuticura Uoap and applied Cutioura
Ointment which never fa'ied to heal it
up. The last time it b.oke out was
when she was six years old. It became
so bsd that I was discouraged. Then
I procured a botl!o of Cuticura Kenol
vent which soon cleared it out of her
blood. I continued the use of Cuticura
Soap and Ointment with the Resolvent
until she was perfectly well. She ia now
about eight years old and has never
been troubled in the last two. years.
We also find Cuticura Resolvent a good

NEW YOKK, July 24. II. Q. Dun &" Co.'s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Industrial plants gradually enlarge the
lirrceniage ot ucu-- iniiulunery, furnish
ing more work for wutje ettrners, which
Blitnululea retail trade, while favorable
crop progress strengthens confidence In a
continuance of recovery in business. New
contracts for steel products are being
placed with more freedom and collieries re
sume that were cloited by the drouth. Out
side representatives of jobbing houses are
numerous in the primary market lor col
ton guuus, but operations are restricted as
is customary at this season.
Spinners can see no profit in operations
on the present basis and hence make no
effort to get the small business thai offers.
In fact most propositions are rejected and
the abeonce of concessions prevents any
changu In nominal quotations, although
scarcely any transactions are made on the
present basis.
Export trade also Is stagnant, although
there is little domestic trade In lines usual
ly confined to foreign markets. The best
Inquiry is from South America. Thus far
the better grades of woolens and worsteds
have not been opened, but enough goods are
offered to meet the requirements of buyers.
Demand is restricted to fancy woolens of
pronounced pattern and coloring, with lit
tle interest in staples. A large quantity
of wool has been withdrawn-from the Lon
don auction sale, which will close on
August 1.
New England footwear shops ere still well
occupied, but wholesalers have left the Bos
ton market without placing any large vol
ume of business and western Jobbers hsvo
not continued to purchase as freely as open
ing sales promised. Prices are not changed,
except where the increased cost of raw
materials has forced shoe manufacturers to
advance figures and little business Is done
on this basis because buyers Insist that
general conditions do not warrant the rise
that has occurred In hides and leather.
leather Is steady except that tanners ad
vanced prices on heavy oak sole and higher
figures are named for belting butts. There
Is more Inquiry at old rates, but few con
tracts are recorded at 37c, which Is general
ly asked. Both Chicago packer and country
hides markets tend upwards, cattle re
celpts showing a decrease. A further ad
vance of a full cent la noted In foreign dry
taldes, which are scarce.
HHADITHEET'S REVIEW UK THAUIS
Good Crop Prospects Increase Con
fidence in Mualnesa Outlook.
NEW YORK. July 24. Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
Good crop reports, the advance of tha
season and growth In confidence as to
the trade outlook are reflected In reports
of moderate enlargement of future buying
at a few large centers, notably In the
west and southeast. Industrial lines, too,
have been benefited by evidences of revi
val in demand and the number of Idle op
eratives has been reduced as a whole.
Still the progress making is of a very con
servative kind, curtailment of industry Is
still a marked feature and small orders
for Immediate shipment largely make up
the volume of business doing by Jobbers.
Hetall trade Is fair as a whole, being stim
ulated by price reduction sales, though
complaint of stocks not moving rapidly
come from some cities, and collections
show little. If any, improvement. The
beat reports come from the central west,
northwest and southwest and the excellent
outlook for the cotton crop makes for a
better tone of advices from the south.
In the leading Industry there Is noted
a more cheerful feeling In Iron and steel,
though transactions In pig Iron are smaller
than in recent weeks. Numerous resump
tions of car shops are a feature, and the
number of Idle cars has unquestionably
been reduced by the liberal movement of
wheat to market. The coal trade Is rather
dull. Lumber has a better tone and there
Is more doing In building at many cities.
The reduction In prices of prints has In
duced freer sales of this product. but
curtailment of production in this line Is
still enforced. Good results from the low
ered price of staple men's wear worsted
goods for spring are reported and raw
wool Is firm though quieter.
