German Syrup"

No other medicine in the world was ever
given such test of Tits curative qualities
as Bosehee's German Syrup. In three
years two million four hundred thousand
small bottles of this medicine were dis
tributed free of charge by druggists in this
country to those afflicted with consumption,
asthma, Group, severe coughs, pneumonia
and other diseases of the throat aud lungs,
giving the American undeniable proof that
German Syrup will cure them. The re-
suit has been that druggists in every town
and village in the United States are re-
commencing them to their customers. Go
to your druggist, aud ask what they know
about it. Sample bottles 10 cents.
Regular size rs cents. Three doses will
relieve any case.

A. Perfect Toilet SOan,

First among the requisites OF the toilet Is good
article of Soap, but TO procure it is always an
easy matter Many of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterious
materials, and their delicate coorlng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most TepulsiYe i'm
purttes. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
ly If applied to the head injuring the hair, irrta
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches The
character of the Ingredients may be inferred from
the statement of gentlemeN who makes the scent
ing of Soaps his business he recently declared that
persons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven to ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle OF toilet soap is at last obviated, however,
InGnks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
D. T. Babhitt, OF New York, the world renowned
Soap Manufacturer whose Immense estahIiehment
- by lar the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown Of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest ia the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After years of patient labor and scientific expert.
ment, Mr.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfecting the
composition of the hrest toilet soap ever intro
duced The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original, and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department of industry
3"B. I. Babbitt's Toilet Soap is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated,
and for applications the delicate skin of infants
children and ladies' it is altogether unequaled in its
SnOlllenb properties. This soap Is not perfumed,
the Ingredients being of such absolute purity to
require no aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers the
absence of artificial perfume the perfection of
sweetness, and this peculiar characteristic of B. T
Babbitt's Toilet Soap renders it the most heathful
anc agreeable article of the kind ever manufac-
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use Of ladies
ana children, this Soap equally appropriate for
gentlemens toilet, and as it makes a heavy lather
