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 Omṛ- MENT, to instantly allay Itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe and heal, to be followed in the Beverer cases by mild doses of CuriouRA 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
Assisted by CUTICUILA OINTMENT, for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling linir, for softening, whitening, and soothing red, rongh, and sore handa, for baby rashes, Itchings, and change, in the form of baths for annoying irritations and inflammations, or too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes for ulceratire weaknesses, and for many sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the tollet, bath, and nursery.
CUTTURA REJOLVENT PILLS (Chocolate Coated) are prepared to meet the wants of delicate women, and sensitive children, and are pure, sweet, and tasteless. They are beyond question the most successful blood purifiers and humour cures yet compounded.

His lengthened management of an estate employing many hundreds of coolies, gave him a full knowledge of the question of labour supply. and his insight into this important phase of the life of Province Wellesley was extra- ordinarily keen. His death, following on that of Admiral Keppel, Dato Meldrum. Dato Hole, and others, severs yet another of the strands in the cord uniting the Straits of the nineteenth century with the Straits of the twentieth century. His death will be universally regretted by all Straits residents who take any real interest in the Colony, and keenly so by some who know him intimately in the old days.
