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 humours, eczemas, rashes, irritations, and itchings, with loss of hair, of infants and children, yet compounded.

MILLIONS USE CUTICURA SOAP

Assisted by CriICURA 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 chalings, la the form of baths for annoying irritations 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 toilet, bath, and nursery. No other medicated soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. No other foreign or donestle toilet soap, however expensive, is to be compared with it for all the purposes of the toilet, 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,

A twin-screw brig, with an Al rig, was the

All spiok and span, from the donkey-man

to the bilge on the capatan bar; She was pully-haul, with a ten-foot yawl,

and a regular chantey orow, And right nyaste at the mizzen-mast, the

scarlet, bg'sun flew.

And oh den lad, what a time I've had

collecting wailor alang,

And weaving it into the strangest songs

that evers sailor sang;
