LIFE OF A PtmPLE.
Compilations Are Cleared and Pimples
Disappear Overnight Without
Trouble.

The dispensers Of poslam. a new
skin discovery, ask that notice be
given that no one is urged to pur-
chase it without first obtaining an ex-
perimental package. Those who have
tried it will find that the fifty-cent
box, on sale at Coughlin's Pharmacy.
and all drug stores, is sufficient to
cure the worst cases of eczema,
where the surface affected is not too
large. The itching ceases on first APP
plication. It will also cure acne,
letter, blotches, scaly scalp, hives,
BARRIERS and every other form Of itch,
including itching feet Being flesh
colored and containing no grease, the
presence Of poslam on exposed sur
faces, such as the face and hands, is
not perceptible. Water and soap can
not be used in connection with it, as
these irritate and prolong skin
troubles, sometimes even causing
them.
AS to the experimental package Of
poslam, it can be had free Of charge
by mail Of the Emergency Labora-
tories, 32 West Twenty fifth Street,
New York. 1t alone is sufficient to
clear the complexion overnight, and
to rid the face of pimples in twenty
four hours.

How Sickness Comes.

Most fatal sicknesses have their
beginnings in a simple "cold" or in
slight cough.
Consumption first shows in a
cough.
Bronchitis is accompanied by q
cough.
The first stage Of La Grippe is .
"cold."
Pneumonia is preceded by cough
and violent cold
Croup-that terrible malady o.
childhood-comes solely as condi
ton of a ''cold.'
Rheumatism generally follow:
neglect after exposure and the con
sequent "cold" or cough.
Kidney Troubles, including
Bright's disease and other fatal com
plications, arc often due to q "cold :
which settles in that region.
And there are countless othel
grave sicknesscs which are rec
ognized by the medical profession a.
having their direct or Indirect cause
in a neglected cold" or cough.

 The castle had been built in IiiO by the seigneI,rs of Mortola.

 When. after alighting from the trnin- we came tu the bauk of the sea our eyes. were struck by a dazzling sil- houette of castle standing upon the peninsula of Hercules. which the works accomplished on the frontier have. alas. nearly destroyed The ob- Euue rays of the sun which were fall ing upon the walls and the old square tower made the reflection of the tower giisten in the waters like a brpast- plate. The tower seemed to stand guard like an old sentinel over the bay of Caravan before us like blue lake of fire.
 Upon the lower steps of the stair way which led to a tower was the charming figure of Arthur Ranc~'s wife. who had been the beautiful Edith Prescott
 The voice of the young wife was her greatest charm. although the grace of her entire being was perfect She greeted us in the simple fashion-the fashion of the ideal hostess.
