The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scalled head; the facial disagreement, as in pimples and ringworm; the awful suf- fering of infants, and anxiety of worn- out parents, as in milk crust, letter and salt rheum, ,-- all demand remedy of almost superhuman virtues to success fully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evi- dence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of. speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy have made them the standard skin cures of the civilized world.

mandate OF the constitution of the United States,
that If a negro disqualified in any State OF
the South, or If the white man was disqualified IN
the North, by the deliberate action Of legislature,
honesty and fairness required that the voters thus
disqualified should be eliminated in the enumera-
ton of the population, as basis for the repre-
sentation of that State in Congress ana IN the
Electoral College, and that either the constitution
be enforced every part of the lard or that it be
amended as to preserve the equities of its intent
and purpose in all the States without discrimina-
