It is the ideal Cosmetic. It stimulates
the nerves, quickens circulation and carries
away dead particles of the skin, leaving it
fine and clear. It has no oqoal for Chap
ped Hands, Lips, Face, or roughness of the
akin, and is not excelled as a dressing for
the face after shaving. It is a bland,
creamy emulsion, with just enough vege
table oil to soften the skin. No lady or
gentleman shonld be without it. Be sure
to get the genuine. Take no substitute.

La Grippe Successfully Treated.
"I have just recovered from a second
attack of the grip this year," says Mr. Jas.
0. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia,
Texas. "In the latter case I used Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and I think with
considerable success, only being in bed a
little over two days, against ten days for
the first attack. The second attack I am
satisfied would hive been equally as bad
as the first but for the use of this remedy
as I bad to go to bed six hours after being
struck with it, while in the first case I was
able to attend to business about two days
before getting down. 50 cent bottles for

A Grateful Woman.
I am so thankful that Mrs. Wymen told
her experience in your columns last month.
My husband has been sick and we have
several small children and I had to do
something. Mrs. Wyinen's sucoess with
the plater led me to believe that I conld
make a little money too. I obtained a
plater for $5 aud have been plating for the
last three weeks, as I could find the time
to leave the house, and have mado $36.50.
I would not have believed that it was so
easy to make money with the plating
machine. Everybody has a little work
they want done, and I sold two plating
machines and made $5 apiece on them to
friends who wanted them for their cbil
dren. Any one can plate and anybody
can succeed, as I have done. There is no
experience nei-ded. My busband says
when he gets well he is going into the
plating business. Any one can obtain
circulars by addressing H. F. Delno A Co.,
Columbus, Ohio, where I got my maohiue.
