THE SONQ OF THE POLE. I stand alone in my great -white wast The everlasting lure, Through ages gone in eternity, But my Bpell doth yet endure. And I beckon men to my fatal fibrins On my altar of the ice. To lay their lives and ambitions down In their useless sacrifice. Ever my lure hath wrought its spel And the dead who return no more. Are no warning to the living ones Who press to my frozen shore; And some victims have piled around. The daring and the brave Only to find men's common goal, A yawning and waiting grave. Tet though they have wrested my secret now. My toll of death is paid. And my power to draw them onward sun Is not a whit gain Bald; For I laid my hand on a noble band And their gallant leader fell At their head, to show I am fatal still In the might of my icy spell.

At first It was rery small but soon it began to spread until 1 formed large blotches. The itching was terrible and almost constant. Many nights I could not sleep at all. After scratching it to relieve the itching It would burn so dreadfully that I thought I could not stand it. For nearly a year I tried all kincU of sal res and ointment, but found no reikif. Some salves seemed to make It worse until there, were ugly sores, which would break open and run. "One day I saw an advertisement of Cuticura Remedies. I got a sample of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and began' by washing the sores with the Cuticura Soap then applying the Cuticura Ointment twice a day. I noticed a change and got more Cuflcura Soap and Ointment and in a few weeks I was cured. It has healed so nicely that no scar remains." (Signed) Mrs. Anna A. Lew, Dec. 17, 1011.
