A Small Dog Kites Mr. T E Land on the Hand. Animal 2 Was Acting Strangely. Mr. T. Eugene Land, a salesman for Mr. B. B. Davenport was attacked by small dog yesterday and received bad bite on the hand. The dog just be fore had attacked a large dog and had bitten it severely. Mr. Land was in front of the store and almost uncon sciously waved his hand when the dog grabbed it and kept jts hold for seveta' eeonds, and, when t did loosen .Mr. Land jumped on the animal and stamped on it until it was killed. There were no evidences of rabies about the dog and Mr. Land's injuries do not appear to be dangerous. . Thrre seems to be considerable trou ble about dogs developing rabies at this time. It is only a few days since Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan were attacked by their pet dog, and although the wound it made was not painful they learned at Baltimore that the dog was really mad and that a thorough Pasteur treat ment was necessary. The fact that dog has bitten any one whether in a playful way or not is enough to cause concern and such a wound should re ceive medical attention at once. ; Fur thermore, if there is any suspicion of another dog or animal having, been bit- ten by a dog supposed to be mad all should be dispatched without regard to any protest of their owners. , Harlowe and N.

Kver since tne time 1 grew into man hood I have been suffering from a dry eruption which at times appeared very extensively, and at other times, but to a limited degree, on my -body. I con sulted a number of medical men without result, and last January I was affected with a terrible eruption on my hands, scalp, and face, which was so bad that I could not even leave the house, so I finally resorted to Cuticura, "In the morning after breakfast I took a tablespoonful of Cuticura Re solvent, the same after dinner and supper. Three times a day I washed myself with Cuticura Soap, and three times a week I took a hot bath with Cuticura Soap and applied Cuticura Ointment to the parts that were pain- ful. So far my Cuticura Remedies rep resent an outlay of only a few dollars and I am completely restored to health, while formerly I had spent dollars upon dollars on doctors, remedies, and oint ments without getting cured. Needless to say, I am quite ready to spend my last cent for Cuticura Remedies. Henry E. Karaping. 633 Eagle Ave., New York, N. Y.,JFeb. 16 and Mar. 15, 1906."
