One Of the most dangerous and unpleasant
evidences Of the existence of hereditary scrof-
uIa is glanduar sWeIlings and painful ulcers
which accompany it and render life burden
to the sufferer and to those about him. Sore
eyes, scabs on the head, pmples on the face,
salt rheum, and the like, are all caused by inn
pure blood. There is but one way to Danish
these offensive symptoms, and that is by the
use of tried and trusted remedies to strike at
the root of the trouble. Dr.. Cobb's Vegetable
Compound, known to the world by it's famous
n-cob trademark, ceanses the skin by first
cleansing the blood. 1t brings new life to the
overworked and nervous victim, and, being
purely vegetable, leaves no i'll effects.

especially those relating to invoices, with any great
degree of uniformity, md much confusion and loss
10 the Government have resulted from the varying
constructions put uron the consular regulations at
great exporting centres OF Europe. The passage OF
the new Customs Administration law. which alters
notably the old form Of invoice and otherwise sim
pnnes tho prevailing methods OF valuation. has now
opened an easy and natural way TO reform in con
sular practice. At the meeting TO he held in Paris IT
is intended to arrive at entire understanding Of the
new law and agreement as to all the details Of Its
enforcement strict regulations will be laid down for
the guidance Of all the consular officers at ports OF
export, and II Is hoped that absolute uniformity may
