And Other Itching, Burning and
Scdy ETVpf0ls.
Instant Relief and Speedy
Cure Afforded by
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills
When All Elise Fails.
COMPLETE TREATMENT. sI.00.

The agonizing itching aud burning OF
the skin, as in eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss OF hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in SCALED
head; the facial Disagreement, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering of infants and the anxiety OF
worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tet-
ter and salt rheum, all demand rem
edy of almost superhuman virtues to
successfully cope with them. That
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are
such stands proven beyond all doubt.
No statement is made regarding them
that is not justified by the strongest
evidence. 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 and humour remedies Of the
civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura ONT
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, in the severer forms, take
Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and
cleanse the blood. A single set Is often
sufficient to cure the most torturing,
disfiguring and humiliating skin, scalp
and blood humours, with loss OF hair
when all else fails.

the larger dealers offered a resolution re-

muse chants after this manner:

George W. Evans. Of S12 Sineteenth
Street northwest, recently wrGSe the
District Commissioners renewing his re-
quest for the improving Of the roadway
of Nineteenth Street from Pennsylvania
Avenue to X Street northwest, with as
phalt, and also that the sidewalks be
improved under the assessment system.
The writer suggested that the Belgian

with sheet asphalt.
Commissioner Biddle. in an indorse-
ment on the papers, recommends that
the writer be informed that a new ce-
ment sidewalk viii be advertised for
construction under the assessment sys-
tenn. and that the remainder OF the walk
asked for can be improved only At the
request Of a majority of the owners OF
the abuti iag property.
LAS to covering the Belgian block

of this Office has been that it is neither
desirable nor economical concludes the
