When this life stream to flowing through tho system in a state of purity nnd richness we nte assured of perfect nnd uninterrupted health; l-ecnuso pure blood te nature's safe-guard against tlisease. When, however, the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, thu system is deprived of its strength, disease genus collect, nnd the trouble is manifested in various ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes nnd the different skin affections show that the blood is iu a feverish nnd diseased conaniou as a result of to much acid or the presence of some irritating humor, Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter iu the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Wood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that will continue to grow worse as long ns the poison remains. These impurities nnd poisons find their way into the blood iu various ways. Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, nnd torpid state of the twenties of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is iitiotlier cause for the poisoning of the blood ; we also breathe the germs and microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in auflficicnt quantity it becomes n carrier of disease instead of health. Some ore so unfortunate as to inherit bad Wood, perhaps the dregs of some old constitutional disease of ancestors is hauded down to thctn and they are constantly annoyed and troubled with it, llad blood is the source of all dis ease, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body is sure to tiuITer in some way.

Shooting at human targets merely for the siort derived from It and ns a test of marksmanship, In other words, bloodless dueling or fencing with pis tols, ban been tundc iiosslble through the Invention by n Frenchman of a harmless wax projectile. This new dl-1 version Is really no mora serious than fencing with mvords nnd has that splco I of realism In It that tends to make any sport popular. I The new bullet Is an Ingenious de vice and required n grcnt deal of ex periment before being perfected. Tho situation was thus: A heavy projec tile must necessarily have a wounding force, a light one loses Its precision nnd a soft bullet will bo changed In flhapo and describe nu Irregular trajec tory; therefore n harmless projectile to bo effective must differ from nil these. The Frenchman's product Is n spherical ball of wax-fat, with n small charge, and In tests twenty-four balls were lodged. In succession In n rectnii- glo four'by five Inches nt twenty yards. At a slx-dny tournament held In the Tullcrles the efficiency of tho wax bul let was demonstrated.

Tho distance Is 25 paces and tho wcnimiiH are revolvers. Tho director of tho combat, keeping his gaze fixed iiKn n metronome which beats eighty to 100 times a minute, mnkes the In quiry ns In nn actual duel, "Are you ready?" and when they repjy "Yes" tlio director, timing Ids words exactly to tho bents of the pendulum, erics, "Fire one two three I" At tho command "Flrol" tho adver saries raise their wcainuis and shoot.
