The hands also are Immersed for bo^s In such solutions, re.nulting In eczema, coarse skin, and brittle nails. The caustic Boda may looaeu the dirt, but it eats away the fabric and ruins the hands. There Is no economy in such work. It is so easy for a woman to test the differeuco between an alkali charged soap and a neutral washing soap, that It is strange that there is room for any but a pure soap on the Canadian market. Sunlight Soap has been tested by chemists and analysts the world over, and its freedom from free alkali or caustic has been demonstrated by the highest medical authorities.

IMMKN.SIO PEAT AREAS. There is, according to a contem- porary, a great future for peat as fuel. The most productive urt-a for it is the North of Clermany and the adjoining jiarts of iJenmark and Hol- land. In Frii'sland there are bogs 1, .')()() Kfjuarc miles in extent, and (Jermnny has more fuel in peat than in coal. A sipiaro mile of bog 10 feet deep contains peat e<|ual in heat- ing power to over 300,000 tons of coal. Ireland has a million acres of large bogs from 3 feet to ;^0 feet deep.

This Hitherto Incurable Disease Has at Last Yielded to Medi- cine â€" The Statement of a Man Cured of a Very Bad Case Four Years Ago. Quebec, Jan. 13.â€" (Special)â€" Phy- sicians and others interested in medicine have been very much inter- ested in a remarkable cure which has been made in this city. If tho facts are as reported and the gen- tleman in question has signed a posi- tive statement giving details and all particulur.sâ€" this case will mark a new era in the treatment of at least one hitherto incurable disca.se. Some few years ago, Jlr. Sum Desrochers, of this city was aliuirst dead with Diabetes. He had been ill for over live years and toward the last the symptoms became so very marked as to leave no doutit in the minds of his physicians as to tho na- ture of the ailnu-nt. Ho had an unquenchable thirst, his feet were alsvays cold ; he had some very acute pains around his kid- neys. These and mun.v other symp- toms were all present and no one thought for a moment that he could ever j-ecovor. He tried every remedy for Diabetes that he could hear of but all failed to do him any good, and when his hope had almost gone ho determined to begin a treatment of llodd's Kid- ney Pills. i'rom tho very commencement he beg.ui to feel a little belter day by day. and as tho treatment proceed- ed the unfavorable symptoms grew less and less till linally he wns com- pletely ciiied, sound and well. His astonishing recovery created quite a sensation at the time and many woudering intpiiries were made by the doctors and others. II he luidii't Diabetes then nobody ever had it. and Diabetes wns incurable â- ! â€"Then how could ho be cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills ? TIs" cure wns only temporary and it would return was what many said. Now. however, after four years have elapsed Mr. Desrochers stoutly declares that he has not since had the slightest .symptom of his old trouble. Every one is convinced that "Diabetes is curable and that Dodd' s Kidney Pills will cure it. ENGLISH SPAVIN UHIMENT removes all hard, soft or callouiwd Lumps »nd Blemishes from horses.
