SUPPOSED MURDER AT KIDDERMINSTER.

On Tuesday afternoon the body of a newly-born female
child, in a nude state, was found by a workman named
George Taylor, floating on the surface of the canal near
the Castle Inn, Caldwell, Kidderminster, and from all
appearances it is believed the infant has been murdered
The police were made acquainted with the discovery, and
Mr. Hillman, surgeon examined the body. The head of
the child appears tl have been subject .to considerable
violence, but the question whether life was extinct before
the body was thrown into the water will be made the sub-
ject of a coroner's inquiry. The corpse had evidently
been in the water- several days when found, as some parts
of the body showed signs of decomposition. The event
has caused some excitement in the locality, two unknown
children having been found dead near the same spot
within the last fourteen months.—On Thursday after-
noon, Mr. Ralph Docker opened an inquiry at the Castle
Inn, Park Lane, Kidderminster, on the body, and after
hearing some formal evidence, adjourned the inquest for
one month, to enable the medical witness to ascertain the
cause of and the police tune to discover, if possible
the parent of the newly-born child.

The PRIVATION OF THE USE OF ONEs's LIMBS while the
other functions of Nature are intact is a serious mortifica-
tion to the actively disposed. Such, however, is the con-
dition of the victims of rheumatism or gout. To walk
without enduring agony is impossible, to use the arms.
free from excruciating pain, is equally impracticable. A
feeling of !gratitude therefore pervades the frame wher
the means are afforded of using all the members without
judicious and frequent application of PowELL's RIIEu-
mATIC EMBROCATION. It is past all doubt the grandest
specific for the evils we have named, and others of a
similar character. May be obtained of all Chemists.
Price is lid. and 2s 9d. Laboratory: 114 and 116 south-
ampton-row, London.

A BALD HEAD may not inaptly be compared to a house
without a thatching. It is exposed to the cold, and is alto-
gether unsightly in aspect. Resort may be had to a wig,
a scalp, or an assemblage of foreign hairs intermingled
with the scanty material of original growth still vouch-
safed to the bare caput; or but the effect is poor and the
disguise too apparent. Let thoee whose mirror assures
them of the approach of baldness or the stealthy march
of grey hairs assail the enemy in time. Let them
employ the infallible restorative known ts Mrs. S. A.
ALLEN'S WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER, and laugh to scorn
the impotency of years and their attempt to rob and
disfigure humanity. To be obtained of all Cie. n iota and
Perfumers throughout the world. Price 6s. Lep il :41

IF THERE ARE ANY LADIES who have not yet used the
GLENBIELD STARCH, they are respectfully solicited to
give it a Walt and carefully follow out the directions
printed an every package, and if this is done, they will
say, like the Queen's LaundresP, it is the finest Starch
they ever used. When you ask for GLENFIRLD STAROFI,
see that you get it, as inferior kinds are often substituted
for the sake of extra profit. Beware therefore of spur-
ous imitations.
