In spite of the fact that those who
use the razor frequently cut them
selves, yet it Is rarely that anything
more serious than a cut follows, the
slight wound generally healing quick
~, and the risk of septicnmia arising
In this way would seem to be almost
nil In the majority of cases, there
fore, it is clear that the razor blade
must be bacteriologically cIean--i. e.,
free from the septic matter-wbich
may be attributed to the fact that
probably ii is dipped into hot sterilized
water before use or else that the soap
lather is antiseptic. The latter expla-
nation seems the more probable Of the
two. The amount of soap rubbed on
the skin is considerable If the shaving
is to be in any degree comfortable, and
soap has considerable antiseptic power,
a 6 per cent solution being sufficient to
destroy the typhoid bacillus. There
can be little doubt, therefore, that the
skin is rendered sterile by the liberal
application of soap, and this fact is In
favor of any cat that may be made re.
manning healthy and without any seri.
Gus consequence.
In a word, soap In the operation OF
shaving not only facilitates the proc
ess, but plays the same valuable role
when the shaver is unlucky enough e
cut himself as does the antiseptic In
surgery Lancet.

door, crawled through and sat down
on the rickety steps TO regain his

Presently he doaned his coats, and,

membered the dinner, and even as the
onlookers pressed forward to congrat-
ulate him he broke away and sped
down the street to the hall.
When he reached the hall, the dinner
was well under way. A glance at his
dirty hands and the iron rust on his
clothes made his heart sink within
him, but with the help of some of the
walters he made himself fairly present
able. Still carrying the kitten beneath

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT f1EDICINE.
THE GREAT fIEDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use Of Paine's Celery Compound
Am Now Ia the Best Of Health"

The greatest of modem physicians, Prof.
Edward +. Phelps, NJ. D., Ii. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
TO suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers TO cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women OF our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of The most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known In the capital city of the Dominion OF
Canada. We refer TO Mr.. Alfred Brown, oI
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont Mr.. Brown
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people OF wealth
and social standing well as with the masses.
Mr. Brown says:-

pleasure the fact that have iccn cured Of a

feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at a time.

Compound for time, am now in the best Of
