A large number of the seats must have been vacant, tor, us his Worship knew. these porforiaances lasted fire or six hours, and play goers would not sit in the theatre that length of time.

His Worship was nuutin to comply with such request. He was there to administer the law as laid down in the ordinances, not to make proposals. The Captain Superintendent could bo approached by Mr. Looker and his cliente, who could make such recommendations to him as they thought it.

SPEEDY CURE IN EACH

CASE BY CUTICURA

I feel it my duty to tell you of two- most wonderful cures of sore eyes by Cuticura Ointuent. My little son had an attack of measles which left his eyes in a skocking state. The lids were in- famed and sore, and every lash fell out. They would be stuck in

the

morning, and bleed when washed, causing untold suffering to the child. I tried everything recommended, but nothing did any good. Then I got Cuticurs, and from the first application I have had cause to be thank ful. Before I had used one box of Cuit- cura the lashes showed signs of growing, and at the end of a few months they were as bealthy as ever. I recommended Cuti- cura to a Mrs. Phillips for her child who also had sore eyes, and the little one was cured with less than one box. (signed) Mrs. C. Todd, Old South Head Road, Waverly, Sydney, N.

I took her to the Hospital, and anhse quently to the Children's Hospital at for twelve months, but her eyes, seemed to be growing worse. One dactor told me they might be bad for years. I was one day stopped on the street hy a Mrs. Todd who told me that Cuticura Ointment had cured her boy. I com- menced using it that very night. The cure has been marvellous. The eyes soon commenced to get strong, and before t had used one box of Cuticura they were as healthy as if there had never been anything the matter with them. (signed) Mrs. 1.
