CHILD ATE cUTIcURA.
Spread Whole Box of 1t ON Crackers
Not the Least Injury Resulted
Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.

A New York friend of Cuticura writes:
my three year old son and heir, after
being put to bed on a trip across the At
lantic, Investigated the stateroom and To-
Gated box of graham crackers and box
of Cuticura Ointment. When a search was
made for the box, it was found empty and
the kid admitted that he had eaten the
contents of the entire box spread on the
crackers. It cured him of bad cold and
I don't know what else"
No more conclusive evidence could be
offered that every ingredient of Cuticura
Ointment is ABSOLUTELY pure, sweet and
harmless. If it may be safely eaten by a
young child, none but the most beneficial
results can be expected to attend its appli-
cation to even the tenderest skin OF
youngest infant.

The Coliseum, massive as it was,
was a mere toy in comparison with
the Great Circus, which filled the val
ley between the Palatine and Aven-

have been able to seat $4,000 peo-
pie, while the seating capacity Of the
Great Circus was, at different periods,
10000, 100000, and lastly 100000
spectators The Great Circus was
probably the most stupendous build
ing ever erected for public spectacles.

sang In New York was at some sort OF a
memorial meeting at Irving hall. He sang
as he had been in the habit of singing and
without any thought of extraordinary eff
feet. But the next morning the New York
Tribune, which at that time was the public
mentor in matters artistic, gave two col
umns OF discriminating and critical praise
to his work, saying that he compared
favorably with LaBlanche, the great French
basso, and that his voice promised to be
the leading one in oratorio IN the country.
