Hunt Keeps Quiet.

William Hunt, or Hunter, arrested on information of R. c.

 } OINTMENT purest Of EmOIIIents and Greatest of Skin Cures. The Most Wonderful Curative
 of All Time A. For TOrturing, Distiguring
 Skin HumOurs N And Purest and Sweetest of

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question the most successful curative for torturs ing, ,disfguring humours of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, ever compounded, in proof of which Q single anointing preceded by hot bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed in the severer cases, by dose of Cuti. cura Resolvent, is often sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most distressing forms of itching, burning and scaly humours, permit rest and sleep, and point to speedy cure when all other remedies fail. It is especially so in the treatment of infants and chill dren, cleansing, soothing and healing the most distressing of infantile hu- mours, and preserving, purifying and beautlfying the skin, scalp and hair.
 Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the same time, the charm of satisfying the simple wants of the toilet, in caring for the skin, scalp, hair, hands and feet, from infancy to age, far more effect ually, agreeably and economically than the most expensive of toilet emollients. Its Instant relief for skin-tortured babies" or Sanative, ,antiseptic cleans ing," or "One- night treatment of the hands or feet" or " Single treatment of the hair," or "Use after athletics" cycling, golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any sport, each in connection with the use of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence of this.
