The POPES CONDITION.

Rome, Feb. 9.-Despite denials the
Pope's condition continues to cause
alarm. After the function of the an
niversary of Pope Plus death on
Saturday, His Holiness was reduced
to state of extreme exhaustion and
obliged to go to bed from which he
has not yet been moved. All recep-
tions fixed for today have been post
poned
The Pope insisted ON being placed
in chair to give audience to Bish-
op Beaver OF Springfield, Mass. The
audience lasted a few seconds only
when His Holiness doctors persuad-
ed him to return to bed. The Pope
is fighting weakness. He declared
when he returned to bed: 4 am not
i'll. l will show myself so the world
will see l am not i'll. The doctors
say the weakness is due entirely to
fatigue and there is no special reason
for alarm.

CUT|CURA
''' OINTMENT
PureSt of EmOIIientS and
Greatest Of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
Of All Time
For Torturing, Disfguring
Humours.

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur-
ing, disfiguring humours of the skin and
scalp, including Toss of hair, ever COM
pounded, in proof of which a single
amounting with it, preceded by a hot
bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed
in the severer cases by dose of Cuti-
cura Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient
to afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humours, permits rest and
sleep, and points to- speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. 1t is especially
so in the treatment of infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantile hui
mours, and preserving, purifying and
identifying 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 and hands from in
fancy to age, far more eflectually,
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 "Single treatment of the
hair, or" Use after athletics, - cycling,
golf, tennis, riding, sparrng, or any
sport, each in connection with the use
of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence
of this.
Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and beautifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales and dandruff, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore
hands, for baby rashes, itchings and
chatings, as well as for all purposes of
the toilet, bath and nursery.
