Through the good offices of the French Coural at Canton the Railway Company last year secured the support of the Viceroy in this direction, but in consequence of allegations of ill-treatment the supply of labour from the two Kwang was prohibited, The French Consul ras moreover requested to cable to the Company to Lend back to Canton all the labourers recruited in the province, and the Viceroy of Yunnan. was at the same tima iustracted to investigate the allegations of ill-ivertiment and to secure

But thanks to Cuticura, that is all over now. After doctoring for three years, and spending much money, asingle box of Cuticura Ointment ended all my anfferings. It's been two years since I used any, and I don't know what sore hands are now, and never lost a day's wark while using Cuticurd. Thomas A. Clancy, 310 North Montgomery St., Trenton, N. J."
