With every Japanese gun centering its flre upon the Nan-Shan forts and trenches, the Japanesinfantry sprang over the bodies of the dead comrades who had sacrificed their lives in the previous charges. The entire line rushed forward toward the Russian left, where the fire of the Japanese squadron had proved most deadly and which was the first to weaken under the bombardment. It was there that the first breach was made in the human stone wall that all day had been an invincible barrier to the impetuous assaults of the brown men. At 7:30 o’clock, as the sun was siuking beneath the horizon, the flag of the land of the rising sun floated above the blood-sodden Nan-Shan Hill, while the shouts of “banzai!” from squadron to fort. in 8,500 killed and wounded.

That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolv- ent are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regard- ing them that is not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immedi- ate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy, have made them the standard skin cures, blood purifiers and humour remedies of the civilized world. Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuti- cura Ointment freely, to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, take Cuticura Re- solvent, to cool and cleanse the Blood.
