SuPERFLUouS HAIR
Should Never Be Removed With
Poisonous, Pasty Compounds
Because They Are Dangerous
and Increase the Growth.

The preparations above referred to
are invariably in the form of creamy
pastes. These are easily recognized
by their pale grayish-greenish color.
They are to be spread upon the skin
to remain until they are dry. These
contain Sulphide of Barium, an insol-
uble chemical, which cannot be dis
solved, therefore cannot be absorbed
by the skin. The very fact that you
are told to leave these pasty COM
pounds on the skin until they dry and
cake and then lift off with knife is
sorbed. If they are, why do they still
remain on the skin? The most they
can possibly do is to remove the sur
face hair, which in consequence will
reappear stronger and thicker after
each removal.
There is only one logical and scien-
tihc way to remove hair, and that is
by means of liquid containing solu-
Bile ingredients which can be absorbed
by the skin. DeMiracle, known all
the world over as the only real super
fluous hair remover, is just such a
preparation. 1t is easily and quickly
absorbed, and after you have used it
you will note there is nothing left on
the skin. 1t leaves the skin free from
irritation, and what is more to the
point, it is absolutely non-poiso nous,
therefore it will not produce eczema
or blood poisoning. Remember, no
matter what claims are made to the
contrary, no poisonous, pasty' COM
pound or so-called Liquid cure" ever
did or ever will destroy a single hair
root, and we can prove it.
The extravagant claims recently
made by unscrupulous manufacturers
vertisements ,unquestionably justify
physicians in cautionirg the public
against the use of this class of depila-
tories. How many people have been
enticed into using these dangerous
preparations with consequent injury
to themselves cannot be estimated.
but only guessed at; therefore beware
of fake free advertisers and others,
who, by wording of their advertise
ments, try to give the impression that
newspapers and other reputable pub
locations indorse their worthless prep
arations. Don't be deceived by them.
DeMiracle is the only preparation
which is so Endorsed.
DeMiracle is sold at all good stores,
including S. Kann, Sons & Co., the
w. S. Thompson Pharmacy.
No honest dealer will offer you
substitute on which he makes more
profit.
We will send you 52-page book
let, containing full information con-
corning this remarkable treatment, as
we'll as testimonials of prominent
physicians. surgeons, dermatologists,
medical journals and the principal
magazines and newspapers. You
should read this booklet before you
try anything. Write to the DeMiracle
Chemical Co., Dept. P II, 1905 Park
Ave, New York. simply saying you
want this booklet, and it will be
mailed, sealed, at once.
Note-All readers of this paper.
who are afflicted with superhuous
hair growths are strongly advised to
write for information concerning this
wonderful method, which is Endorsed
the world over by eminent authori-
ties, who have made lifelong study
of this subject.

INsuLTED THE KING.
The Joke Printer Turned on Louis

The Joke Printer Turned on Louis
Philippe and M. THEIRS.
One morning during the reign OF
Louis Philippe there appeared in the
Constitutional the following startling
paragraph:
His majesty the King received n
Thiers yesterday at the Tufleriss rad
charged him with the formation Of .
new cabinet The distinguished states
man FASTENED to reply to the king:
u have only one regret. which Is
that cannot wiring your neck like &
turkeys
few lines lower down there was
another paragraph running to the fol.
lowing effect:
'The efforts Of Justice have been
promptly crowned with success The
murderer of the Rue du Pot de Fer has
been arrested in house of bad reputa
ton, Led at once before the Judge Of
instruction, the wretch had the hardi
hood to address the magistrate in tera,s
of coarse insult, winding up with the
following words, which amply show
that there remains not spark of con
science or right feeling in this hard
ened sorl:
"'God and man are my witnesses
that have never had any other am
bition than to serve your august per
son and my country Loyalty to the best
of my ability
The printer had Just cleyerly managed
to interchange the two addresses. The
cream of the joke was that it was ami
yersally known how very little love
there was lost between the king and
the minister.-Strauss' "reminiscences

Z A queer fish that does not swim is
the 'sargasso fish," known to sailors
us the "frogfish." 1t lives In that vast
mass of floating gulfweed called the
Sargasso sea, in mid-Atlantic.
Its pectoral fins are so modified aud
developed as to resemble arms, and it
uses them for clinging to the weed.
Very gaudlly colored. it, changes its
hues to match the aquatic vegetation
by which 1t is surrounded, and when
the latter decays and turns brown it
assumes corresponding shade.
The fish lays its eggs in jelly-like
mass which. absorbing a great guam
tity of water, becomes three times as
big as the mother fish herself, assum-
ing the form of a narrow raft three or
four feet long and two to four inches
wide.-~New York World
