AG I
FROM Eozrui
CURED BY CUTICU RA
For ten years I suffered untold agonies from
Eczema, my lower limbs being so swollen and
broken out that I could hardly go about. My
rothcr, a physician of thirty years’ practice,
and other physicians of splendid ability, tried
in vain to effect a cure and signally failed. I
became absolutely disheartened, and had lost
all hope, when a friend induced me to give
CUTICURA REMEDIES a trial. I used two
cakes of CUTIC um SOAP and two boxes of
CUTXCURA (ointment), and it resulted in an
absolute and permanent cure.

HoMiESIeK DOG’S LONG TRA'MP.‘
Returned from South Carolina‘ to , His
Master in Elmira, N. Y.- ' '9
A valuable pointer belonging to J ehn

from South Carolina to his home fin
that city because he was homesick.
A few months ago a family‘na'med
Bun-n, who lived near the Sullivagns.
on Kenyon street,“ ~w-ho had been
friends of the Sullivan vfamily. signi-
fied their intention of moving to South
Carolina to live. A large dog, which
was owned by the Sullivans, spent
much of his time between the two
houses, sometimes staying for days at
a. time with one of the families and
then leaving for (the other house sud-
denly, without apparent reason for his
departure. - ' .
When the Bunns moved to South
Oarolina they asked the Sullivans to
give up their interest in the dog, so
that they could take him with them,
which was agreed to.
One day recently the Sullivan fam-
ily heard 'a strange noise at the door.
They opened it and were astonished to
see the dog which they had given to
the Bunn fa'mily several months ago
and which they supposed was miles
away. The joy of the animal to find
himself among his friends again knew.
no bounds. :
He was so weak from hunger and
exhaustion from the long journey that
it was at first thought 'he would not
live. The animal’s feet were so blis~
tered and swollen that after he .had
been home an :hour or two he could
not walk. What route the animal tool:
or how long 'he had been on the way,
home is not known—Elmira. Advertis-

the chiefs ordered all the people, men

game. Any one who disobeyed this
order was fined a dollar. This did not
- often happen, for all usually mustered
on the ground for play. The matches
were played in dilferent parts of the
town, and from three hundred to four
hundred players would take part in
one game. Each player of the losing
side had to subscribe a shilling toward
the building of the church. Tin
scheme became very popular, and aft,
