Another striking ono _ Was " Prospecting for Gold in Assouan," showing, in a succcssion of excellent views, a party journeying with a camel transport to tho quartz country, their arrival in camp, and methods of dealing with the gold-bearing oro found.

Which Brought Him Relief from Affection of Face and Forehead—Tried Several Other Remedies and Consulted Two Physicians—ln Midst of Busy Life Sends Lette* of Praise. " Dunkirk Vicarage, Faversham..England, "July 10.1907. " Dear Silt,— am very busily engaged in preparation for tho reopening of our parish j church, which has delayed my reply to your recent letter. I may tell you that I haw been vicar of this parish since January, 1854, j and am now in my eighty-fifth year. Mv ailment affected my face and forehead. It commenced five or six years ago, and I had recourse to several remedies and consulted two physicians. After a while I happened to read an advertisement about Cuticura and determined to give it a trial.. So. I begau with the Cuticura Soap, then purchased Cuticura Ointment, then added the Resolvent, for which I have substituted the Pills.. Now I consider myself virtually cured and neither trouble doctor nor myself nor anyone else about skin affections. I have much pleasure in recommending Cuticura Remedies. I use no other soap but Cuticura for my face an-l hands. " Yours very truly, W. J. Springett."
