yt'xr. 1 he s,tory of the play is Interesting,
axd the auditor is wrapped up in it from
b'g!ri:if0 to p»d- It tells of a bright an!
hap-,.-v home brtiken up bv a too-susplcloas
htiibar d, whose blind love and jsaloasy
cause him to take the word of another
woman above that of his true wife, fhe
wcmar, Rachel Westwood. who steps b>
tween the two, tlces it out of mean revengs
for not having herself beea the chosen
wife. Miss Eilcler assumes the role of
Bessie Barton, the wife, to perfection. It
if re pity the stage has not more such bril-
liant and capable ladies as MissEilsler.

A CHILD'S LIFE SAVED.
When six months old the left hand of our
little giaiulcliild began to swell aud had ovory
appearance of a largo boil. We poulticed it,
but all to no purpose. About five months at
ter It became a running sore. Soon other sores
fonued. lie then bad two of tnooa on each
!) and, ana as his blood became more and more
lmpuie It took less time for them to b eak out,
A sore came on tbe chin, benesth the under
Dp, which was very offensive, ills head was
one solid scan, discharging a great deal. This
was his condition at twenty two months old,
wl en 1 undertook tbe care of him, Ills moth3r
having died when he was a little more tnan a
year old of consumption (scrofula of course.)
lie eould wallt a little, but could not get up if
he feu dc-svs, and could not move when in
bed, having no utc of I1I3 hands. I Imtnedlata-
lv commenced with tue CDTtcrp.\ uuiiituiES,
using the Cl'thtiia and Cltk'UUa soap fceelv,
and when he had tafeen one hottfe of the Con
< ma Bk,solvent his head was completely
cured, and was Improved In every way. We
\»ere very much encouiaged, and coctlaneil
the use ol tbe Remedies for a year aud a hilt.
One sore alter another healed, a bony matter
foimlng In each one of these five deep ones
just before healing, which would linaltygrow
loose and were taken out; then they would
beat rapidly. One of these ugly bone forma-
tions I preserved. After taking a dozen and
a half bottles be was completely cured, and is
now, at the age of six years, a strong and
healthy child. The scars on his h inds must
always remain; ills hands are strong, though
we once feared be would never be able to use
tbem. All that physicians did for hi n did him
logcod. All who saw tho child hefo;e using
the Ci tm i ra Ei-:mki.lies andsee the child now
consider it a wouderful cure. If tlie above
facts are of any use to you, you are at liaet'ty
touseihem. SfliS. S\ S. DKIGG3,
