1870. and necessitated two men for each boat,
one to propel the boat and the other to search

sponging was often carried on at distance of 20
to 30 miles from shore. The average size OF

awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head

Deaths Due to Dust.

A warning against the dangers OF
dust was issued recently by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis. in which
it is shown that the percentage OF
deaths caused by tuberculosis in dusty
trades is more than double that for all
employed men in the registration area
of the United States. While among
males generally in the registration
area of the United States 145 per
cent. of all deaths are from consump
ton the mortality among grinders
from this disease is 49.2 per cent. and
in hardly any Of the dusty trades is 1t
below 25 per cent. The percentage OF
deaths from tuberculosis among all
those exposed to metallic dust is 1868
per cent; to mineral dust, 2S.6 per
cent: to vegetable fibre dust. 2S.S per
cent; to mixed animal and other
forms of dust, 32.1 per cent; to street
dust, 255 per cent. and to organic, or
dust coming from the article being
manufactured, 23 per cent.
