It is a highly dangerous thing to interfere with the ordinary transactions of the commercial world, and the Government will liste to proceed very gingerly in suy proposal it may bring forward. On the face of it does seem strange that a British ship abound carry German of American goods a longer distance than British for a lower freight.

"When my little girl was six months old, she had eczema. We had used cold creams and all kinds of remedies, but nothing did her any good; in fact, she kept getting worse.

She would kick and scream, and when she could, she would tear her face and arme almost to pieces.
