Many Dollar formerly spent on expeD-
sive Sulphur Baths is now saved by substit
uting therefor Glen Sulphur Soap, which
is just as beneficial but infinitely cheaper,
Local diseases of the skin, rheumatism and
gout are all relieved by this standard re-
medy. Complexional blemishes are era
dicated by it, and it imparts to the cuticle
a pearly witness and velvety softness
which greatly enhance the effect of female
charms. Its soothing. antipblogistic action
constitutes il prime remedy for sores,
ulcers, ruts; sprains, scalds, bruises, and
in fact every abnormal condition of the
cuticle attended by Inflammation, swelling
or itching. Ladies moving in our best So
ciety speak OF its beautifyiug properties in
enthusiastic terms, and give it a decided
preference to cosmetics which merely can
ceal but do not, like Glenn's Sulphur Soap,
eradicate defects of the complexion. The
use of ointments for eruptive complaints
is to be deprecated because of their having
tendency to clog the pores and in some
cases to aggravate rather than remedy the
disease. they are besides. seldom
thorough enough in their effects to prevent
the recurrence OF eruptions of an inveter-
ate type, and have the disadvantage of
| soiling the linen of persons VINO use them.
Glenns Sulphur Soap, on the contrary,
radically cures the diseases to which it is
adapted and still further recommends it.

which has been worn by persons off1icted

SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethaig gy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and
frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, par
ticularlY those suffering from the effects of debi-
ting diseases. In order to keep q natural health
full activity of the system must resort to arlf-
cial means. For this purpose sehenck's Sea Weed
Tonic is very efectual. few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vigor to the eneryated body
For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by the drugs which are gener-
ally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed
Tonic in Its nature is totally different from such
drugs. 1t contsirs no corrosive minerals or acids
in fact it assists the regular operations of nature
and supplies her deficiencies The tonic in its na-
ture much resembles the gastric juice that it is
almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice
is the natural solvent which, in healthy condition
Of the body causes the food to be digested; and
when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quanti-
ties Indigestion, with all it's distressing symptoms
follow. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty
of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient.

The Porte having expressed apprehen-

piled that the Russians were in position to
guarantee the maintenance of order.
The British consul at Trebizonde tele-
graphs that the Russians are marching
