When my little bo was six months old. ho had eczeflth The sores extended so quickly over the whole body that we at once cat Hod In the doctor. We then went to another doctor, but he could not help hin, and in our despair we wont to a third one. Matters became so bad that he had regular holes in his cheeks, large enough to put a flnjcer Into. The food had to be given with a spoon, for his mouth was covered with crusts ss thick as a finer r. and whenever he opened the mouth they began to bleed and sup purate. as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest and back, in short the whole body was oovervd over and over. We had no rest by day or night Whenever he was laid In his bed. we had to pin his hands down; otherwise he would scratch bis face and make an open sore. I think his face must have itched mod fearfully. We finally thouxht nothing could help, and 1 had made up my mind to send my wife wltri the child to Europe, hoping that the sea air tn'.cht cure him. otherwise he was to be put under good medical care there. Hut. Lord be blessed, matters came differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. VY made a trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided Improvement.

cislon could be deferred sc long the game could be successfully played. It seems remarkable that these creditors did not ask for the numbers of these bonds or examine more closely into the antecedents of the rich American, who. although the possessor of a fortune of $20.000.000. excited no attention in his native land ; in fact, who seemed to be entirely unknown. It may be that they did invest igst e, and. larking sufficient data to probe the matter to the bottom, were unable to go beyond the records of the French courts; or. satisfied by the legal steps which had been taken that such a legacy did actually exist, they rested in the secure belief that their loans would be repaid. The End of the Farce. Various efforts were made to recover large sums loaned the Humberts,

' but nearly all of these were unsuccess

ful. When the creditors resorted to rivll process for this purpose they found that their notes were qualified in various ways, the most common of which waa that payment of the loan should be made "after the Crawford compromise shall have beta settled." or ;ayable after the conclusion of actions of law." It became necessary to proceed along other lines nnd to raise the cry of fraud before the bubble could be pricked. This waa done by the creditor to whom they owned S24.OO0. He asserted that the saf did not contain the S20.00O.00P claimed by the Hum berts aad attested by the notary and ho asked for an examination and Inventory. To this the lawyer for the Crawfords" objected, but the lawyer for the Humberts, innocently believing in the Integrity of his clients, ss sented. The result Is known to the world. The safe contained only about f 1.290 in securities and a few Insignificant articles of Jewelry. Two days before it was opened the Humberts had fled from France.
