How to Cure Pimples. It is truly renutrkablehow Cadum, the new skin remedy, en uses ,piínpJes to dis- appear. The very worst, caress are. fre- quently cured iii ;• week, and often in even less time. Cadum causes pimples; to dry up and fall off, leaving the skin as soft and smooth as a baby's. Pimples are a disease of the skin and are not caused by bad blood, as Inanypeople suppose. Cadum cures these annoying and dis- figuring facial blemished hi-eattse it can be applied direct to the trouble, and its soothing, antiseptic and healing powers stop the itching at onèe, Gadum is just as efficacious in other >L :s ti-o-Libles, such as blackheads, blotches a-n, eruptions, acne, eczema, etc. Many remarkable cureas have been reported, "and on investi- gation have proved; thoroughly genuine. The success of Cadum is, indeed, most marked. Every chemist is now selling it. and finds he has to meet an ever- increasing demand.

The cortege at Ferndale was a large one. The Rev. Harris, pastor of North Street (E.C.) Church, officiated. Wreaths were sent by the staff of the Secondary Schools, and several of the classes. The girl scholars were lined en route to the station. Mr. Riley came to Ferndale eight years ago from Manchester, and during that period had en (Tea red himself with the people and had niadje a great number of friends. He was one who resented all kinds of outward show and pomp. Though showing at times some. brusqueness of manner, beneath all them laid a generous spirit of kindly feeling. He leaves a wife and a young son to mourn his loss.
