VANCOUVER. SFORTSMAN
HAS NARROW ESCAPE.
VANCOUVER. April 1? Clinging
desperately to an overhanging bough
as it slipped slowly through his
hands, Lewis Russell, of North Van
couver, was rescued practically unin
jured at the brink of the first canyon,
Capilano, over which he fell yesterday;
afternoon. The fluine opposite was
crowded with Sunday sightseers, but
the screams of the man who was
staring dea'h in the face went un
heard. drowned by the sound of the
roaring waters two hundred feet be
low. Russell was saved by a party
of people who were sightseeing along
'he canyon.
Shortly after noon Russell started
out on a fishing expedition, walking
a lomc the edge of the cliff he made
as though to start down a cliff which
is almost sheer. There was a
shout for the man to go back, but
it was too late. Russell had made
the first step down. He stepped on
a rock, it slipped, and the man went
down with it. He disappeared over
the ledge, hut the goddess of luck
was with him. As he fell he threw
out his hands and grasped a ibough.
It was enough to hold him until he
was rescued by some sightseers.

Him, Used Cuticura Sosp arid Oint
ment 4 Weeks ard He Was Cured.
"A fcrv days afrrr birth we noticed an In
flamed spot on our baby's hip which soon be
(jan spreading until baby was completely cov
crcd even in his eyes,
cars and scalp. For
eight weeks he was
bandaged troin head to
foot. lie could not
have a stitch of cloth
ing on. Our regular
pi: . si< ian pronounced it
chronic eczema. He is :i
V < r\ able pli.vsk ian and
ranks with the best in
this locality, nevcrthc
, less, the disease began spreading until tiatiy
was completely covert : I. He was losing tlesh
so rapidly that we became alarmed and de
) cideil to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
"Not until I commenced using Cuticura
I Soap and Ointment could we tell what ho
I looked like, as wo dared not wash him, and
I had been putting one application after
j another on him. On removing the scale from
j his head the hair came oft. and left him
; entirely bald, but since we have been using
I Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has as much
I hair as ever. Four weeks alter we began to
I use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment he was
J entirely cured. I don't believe anyone could
! have eczema w orse than our baby.
" Before we used the Cuticura Remedies
| we could hardly look at hiin, he was such
a pitiful sight. 11c would fuss until I would
treat him, they seemed to relieve himso much,
j Cuticura Soap and Ointment stand by them
[ selves and the result they quickly and surely
bring is theirown recommendation." (Signed)

DEAFNESS CANNOT BF CURED :
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased Dortion of the ear.
Tfcere is only one way to cure deaf
iwse, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an j
Inflamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you hare a rumbling sound or lmper- j
iect hearing, and when It is entirely
closed, deafness Is the result, and un
elss the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
mal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of ?deafness (caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
