FOR BABY'S SKIN

SCALP AND HAIR

Something for Mothers to Think About EVERY CHILD born into the world with an inherited or early developed tendency to distressing, disfiguring humours of the skin, scalp, and blood, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only because of its suf- fering but because of the dreadful fear that the disfigura- tion is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and prosperity. Hence it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint themselves with the best, the purest, and most effective treatment available, viz., THE CUTICURA TREATMENT.

Warm baths with CUTICURA SOAP, to cleanse the skin of crusts and scales and soften the thickened cuticle, gentle anointings with CUTICURA OINT- MENT, to instantly allay itching, irritation, and infiammation, and soothe and heal, to be followed in the severor cases by mild doses of CUTICURA RESOL- VENT PILLS (see below), to cool and cleanse the blood, are all that can be desired for the alleviation of the suffering of skin-tortured Infants and children and the comfort of worn-out, worried mothers. A single set is often sufficient to cure when the best physicians fail.

Millions of Women Use Cuticura Soap

ABalsted by CUTICURA OINTMENT, for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and handrufi, and the stopping of falling hair, for eoftening, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore hands, for baby rashes, itchings, and chalings, in the form of baths for nunoying irritations and inflammations, or too free or offensive perapiration, In the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative, aniseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the tollet, bath, and nursery.

CUTICURA RESOLVENT PILLS (Chocolate Coated) are prepared to meet the wants of délicate women, and sensitive children, and are pure, sweet, and tasteless. They are beyond question the most successful blood purifiers and humour cures yet compounded.

CUTICURA REMEDIES are sold throughout the world. Australian Depots R Towns & Co., Bydney. British Depot 27-23, Charterhouse Fq.. London. French Depot: 3 Rue de la Paix, Paria. POTTEE Devo and Cum. Cozz., Sole Propa, Boston, U. 8. A.All about the Skia," free.

Let any subaltorn speak a word without leave,' said Lieutenant Squeers mildly,

and I'll take the skin off his back,,

This martial proclamation had the desired effect, and a death-like silence immediately prevailed, in the midst of which Lieutenant Squeers went on to say:

Subalterns, I've been visiting in the country, and have returned to my regiment and you as strong and well as over.

According to invariable custom, the shivering subalterns gave three feeble. cheers at this refreshing intelligenco. Such cheurs! Sighs of extra strength with the. chill on.
