Skin-Tortured Babies

AND TIRED MOTHERS Find Comfort in Cuticura

INSTANT RELIEF and refreshing sleep for Skin-tortured Babies and rest for Tired Mothers in warm baths with CUTICURA SOAP, and gentle anointings with CUTICURA OINTMENT, the great skin cure and purest of emollients, to be followed in severe cases by mild doses of CUTICURA RESOLVENT PILLS, to cool and cleanse the blood. This is the purest, sweetest, most speedy, permanent, and economical treat- ment for torturing, disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding, scaly, crusted, and pimply bumours, eczemas, rashes, irritations, and itchings, with loss of hair, of infants and children, yet compounded.

MILLIONS USE CUTICURA SOAP

Assisted by CUTICURA OINTMENT, for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore hands, for baby rashes, Itchings, and chafings, in the form of baths for annoylug irritatious and inflammations, or too free or offensive perspira- tlon, in the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the toket, bath, and nursery. No other medicated soap ever compounded is to bo compared with it for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expensive, is to be compared with it for all the purposes of the toflet, bath, and nursery. Thus it combines in ONE SOAP at ONE PRICE, the BEST skin and complexion, soap, and the BEST toilet and BEST baby soap in the world.

CUTICURA RESOLVENT PILLS (Chocolate Coated) are a new, tasteless,

odourless, economical substitute for the cele brated ilguid CUTICURA RESOLVENT, as well as for all other blood purifiers and hamour cures. Put up in screw-cap pocket vials, containing 60 doses.

VITRIOL-THROWING IN

BANGKOK.

A dastardly outrage was committed on an Indian woman, who was sitting in front of her residence in the row of

buildings adjoining Bangrak Hospital last night, says the Bangkok Times of the 23rd February. A carriage in which two persons, a man and woman, were sitting, came along the road and drew up opposite the Indian woman. Without the slightest warning, the woman in the carriage produced three eggs and flung them in the face of the Indian. The eggs had been emptied of their contents and filled with vitriol, The result was that when the missiles struck the woman they burst and the vitriol poured over her face and breast. The acid inflicted frightful wounds and the woman was carried to her apart was suffering excruciating ments. She , pains and an effort was made to aid her but she died within two hours of the assault. The most extraordinary feature of the outrage is that the woman was an inoffensive person who kept herself secluded in her house, and had no quarrels with her neighbours, or indeed with anybody. The carriage in which the assailant remained, was immediately driven off after the outrage and dis- appeared at Sam Yek.

In order to obtain additional revenue, the Formosan Government is reported to have decided to impose a duty on cut to bacco imported into the island from Japan proper.
