George Robinson.

On Friday, January rs, 1870, George
Robinson passed away, after a brief i'll
ness. He was born in Wellingore, Eng
land, on February q, 1855. He spent
his early years at his home and came, as
a young man, to America. On February
II, 1884, he married A~ntoinette Koe,h.
To this union SIX children were born,
Julia and Rupert, who died in childhood,
Lawrence, who in the recent war was on
the Inflated Cyclope; George, who is All
officer in the U. S. Navy; and Alma and
Irene, who live with their mother. A
great part of his life was spent at Pilot
Knob, Iron County, Missouri, where he
reared his family. The last few years OF
his life were spent in ST. Louis, where he
died.
On May 81, 1907, George Robinson
became a convert to the Catholic Faith
and received his First Holy Communion
on January rs, 1908. His death occurred
twelve years to the Sunday, after his
first Communion. After his conversion
he was a faithful and devout Catholic,
approaching the benefits of his religion
and living in peace and happiness to the
end. His remains were brought back to
Pilot Knob and ne was laid to rest on
the family lot at the Catholic Cemetery.
Those who knew him best have ex-
pressed his life and character thus: lie
was a peaceful citizen, a trusty friend, 4
tender father and a loving husband.
What more could be said of any mau?
His home life, the love and tender care
he bestowed on his own, can only he
known to the bereaved family. HIS
kindness to his friends and to his COM
panions in his labors was shown by the
grief which filled their hearts as they
came to pay their last tribute of love 10
their departed friend.
His character was sterling, his heart
noble; his life was well spent and our
hope and prayer is that peace and etern-
al rest be granted him.
A FRIEND.

I Acne is always a stubborn disease
/ but with patient and intelligent treat
/ ment it can be cured; relopses are
common when the causative conditions
return. To be successful, the treat
ment of acne must embrace both con-
stitutional and local measures. The
constitutional treatment includes diet,
hygiene and internal medication. Ger
tain articles of food almost invariably
produce acne in some individuals; the
articles having this special tendency
are buckwheat, pastry, hot bread
nuts, cheese. chocolate. fried substanc-
es, and excess of sweets and starches.
also milk it is generally necessary to
cut off many of the so-called luXuries
of life; among them wines and beer,
also sweet and rich articles of food,
Exercise is all-important and the
proper care of the skin by bathing and
otherwise must never be neglected.
There is no one internal remedy
which will have any great and per-
manent effect upon all cases of acne:
arSneic will not cure the disease. The
measures to be used are those directed
principally to the restoration of per-
feet health, and to the assimilatiye and
nutritive debility, often shown by con-
stipation and dyspepsia, also urinary
and sexual disturbances.
The constipation is to be met by
measures which induce healthful activ-
ity Of the abdominal organs, and not
simply by repeated purgatives or by
waters.
For the dyspepsia, the most varied
measures may be required; cup of
hot water, taken half an hour before
eating, will often be of the greatest ,
assistance. In a large number of /
cases of acne, however, alkalies will /
be found to yield the best results COM
0ined with various vegetable RENE
dies. In a certain number of cases,
the. acne will depend almost entirely
upon pure debility, and powerful tenics
will be called for
The greatest benefit is observed in
Ill the inflammatorv forms of acne
rom the local use of very hot water.
