Protective Association frankly said at a recent meeting, "A woman may be dressed with the severest simplic s ity, with the slightest expense, and yet be stylishly gowned if she wears the correct corset."

B. a Spirite 7 Corsets are made in a large range of styles, adapted to the varied require e ments of different figures, and affording the opportuniry for satisfying in 4 dividual taste.

Pain Balm is an antiseptic and causes P cuts, bruises and like injuries to heal without maturation and in one third the time required by the usual treat ment. It is for sale by The R. B.
