to me that my cabin was burning in
consequence of an explosion. The 'fire
soon became very great and ignited
other parts of the ship. I gave orders
to my aide to flood the after maga

of smoke impeding walking in the

BLOOD AND
SKIN DISEASES
Caused by Impurities and Bacteria in
the Blood.
That the blood Js a natural antiseptic
and powerful germ destroyer is a fact
recognised by all leading medical men.
There are certain cells in the blood
whose sole mission Is to keep It free
from impurities, and which seem to
have nothing tn particular to do on
ordinary occasions but to float about
on the blood tides, and wander through
the various channels and tissues of tho
body watching other cells work.
Wut the moment those cells come
upon, a foreign particle, disease germ
or impurity in the blood or fragment
of worn-out celjs, they pounce upon it,
wrap themselves around it. and either
digest or destroy It, or carry It off to
a safe place of deposit, either within
the tissues or without.
A great deal of lore has accumulated
about these wandering scavengers of
the blood, and they seem to be of great
importance in many ways, and are
known to medical men as phagocytes.
Whenever the blood becomes very im
pure and tha number of germa within
it are large, the phagocytes are vastly
increased numerically, a condition
known as phagocytosis.
Thus a tierce struggle between the
germs and the phagocytes rages. The
phagocytes usually win out and destroy
the germs, but it sometimes happens
that the phagocytes are completely
overwhelmed by numbers, so rapid is
tho increase of germs and blood impu
rities. STUARTS CALCIUM WAFERS are
the most powerful germicides, anti
scorbutics and alteratives, or blood pu
rifiers il the United States Pharmaco
poea. When the phagocytes are over
come by disease germs and blood Im
purities, these wonderful little wafers,
when taken into the system, exert a
cleansing, germ-destroying and purify
ing effect on the blood, assisting the
phagocytes in driving all foreign mat
ter from the system, thus freeing It
from all skin and blood diseases, and
so rapid and efficient Is the work of
purification performed that a complete
change for the better Is noticed in a
remarkably short time.
Stuart's Calcium Wafers should be in
every homo. Every one needs a blood
purifier occasionally at least. For sale
