When there is a natural and healthy circulation ot tne blood, the entire quantity, estimated at one-eighth the weight of the body, passes through the heart .. every five minutes. This rapid flow of the blood through the system prevents the entrance of disease germs and impurities of every description: It filters out all that -is not necessary or good for the growth and development of the body and nourish ing and strengthening the muscles, tissues, nerves and bones. - But, unfortunately, few persons can rightly claim an absolutely pure blood supply and perfect and unpolluted circulation, and in consequence are exposed to innumerable diseases. Contagious Blood Poison, the greatest enemy to mankind,, enters the -system through the blood, and Cancer, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Eczema, Salt Rieum, Psoriasis, Tetter in fact the majority of human ailments are caused by poisons or humors that are engen ' - - r - acred end fostered in a sluggish TltO BlOOtl IS thO StSUIGQ and impoverished blood.

Sallow complexions and rough, oily skins evidence some constitutional or blood trouble, which salves, lotions, powders nor any external treatment can cure.- Diseases that originate in the blood, whether they manifest themselves as ulcers, tumors, itching eruptions, muscular or bone pains, require a tonic and blood purifier such as S. & S., which not only antidotes and neutralizes blood poisons and humors, but possesses health-giving tonic proper ties that no other blood medicine does. It goes down to the very foundation of the disease and eliminates from tie system every PSSlllStSO jBIittSn thing of a poisonous character or that obstructs and clogs the circulation. It builds up and imparts EelGS&3 DI&QSSO new strength and vitality to the old innutritious blood, ana when the arteries and veins are once more filled with new rich blood, the general -health begins to improve, muscles grow stronger, and sores and eruptions of every kind disappear. . 8.

Words sf Gratitude and Praise from Par- rats far tha Bamrdy that Saved the Ufa of Their Child. Frm the Traveler, Arlan$at City, Kan. Rapid as has been the advance medical science along many lines, is only in recent years that a remedy has been discoevred for one of the most dreadful of nervous diseases that affliced children St. Vitus' dance, This and other nervous disorders that cause the pale and wan faces and peevish, irritable dispositions of -so many children can now be. scien tifically treated . by a remedy that strikes at the root of the disease by renewing the impoverished blood and strengthening the nerves. Words of commendation for this remedy come from all - parts of the civilized world. This is the interest ing story told by Mr. and Mrs.- Chris- topher Armstrong, of Jefferson, Okla. "Our youngest daughter was for three years afflictetd with St. Vitus, almost despaired of finding relief in medical treatment. She was so helpless that she had to be fed and would fall over at times and be unable to rise. . We had heard and read a great deal about Dr. Williams' Pink Fills for Pale People, and, as a last resort, deterimned to try them. The effect was alomst miraculous. From the first box there was a noticeable im provement and by the time -she had . taken six boxes she was almost well, Altogether she took about-? a 'dozen boxes, and by the time- she ' was 13 years Of age, was strong and healthy, weighing 114 pounds.

Howiand, one of the most popular after-dinner speakers of New York: "There was a little boy who was badly puzzled over the theory of evolu tion. He went to his mother and ask ed: 'Mamma, am I descended from a monkey? - I don't know,' she answer ed; 1 never met any of your father's people." " Herbert A. Giles gives tbe following example of Chinese humor in his "His tory of Chinese Literature": "A man who had been condemned to wear a wooden collar was seen by some of his friends. 'What have you been doing?' .they asked him, to deserve this 7 'Oh, nothing he replied: 'I only picked up an old piece of rope.' 'And you are to be punished thus severely,' they said. for merely picking up an end of rope 7 'Well,' answered the man, 'the fact Is that there was a bullock tied to the other end.' " - In his biography of Phillips Brooks, Alexander V. G. Allen of Cambridge tells of a clergyman who was going abroad, and talked in jest of bringing back a new religion with him. "You might have some trouble in getting it through the custom house," some one remarked. . "No," observed Bishop Brooks; "we 'may take it for granted that a new religion would have no du ties attached." Another person, , for the sake, no doubt, of argument, once drew attention to the fact that some men, calling themselves atheists, seem ed to lead moral lives, and Brooks promptly disposed of it. 'They have to," said he; "they have no God to for give them if they don't." - . An old Scotch farmer once' went to have a troublesome tooth extracted. Said the dentist, after looking, at the offending molar: "It is a very ugly one. I would advise you to have it out by the painless system.-' It is only a shill ing extra." He showed the farmer the apparatus for administering gas, re marking that it would cause him to fall asleep for a minute, and before he awoke the tooth would be out. After a slight resistance the sufferer consent ed, proceeding to open his purse. "Oh, never mind paying just now!" said the dentist, kindly. "Hoots V answered the cautious old Scot, "A' wasn't thinking o' that; but If A'm ga'en ta sleep A' thocht A' wad like ta count ma siller fust." - Frederick the Great once had occa sion to rebuke his cavalry for shirk ing their duty. According to "A His- tary of Frederick the Great," he said "Gentlemen, I am entirely dissatisfied with the cavalry; the regiments, are completely out of hand; there is no ac curacy, no order; the men ride like tailors. I beg that this may not occur again, and that each of you will-pay more attention to his duty. But I know how things go on. You think I am not up to your dodges, but I kno.w them all, and will recapitulate them. When the season for riding-drill comes "on, tbe captain sends for the sergeant major, and says: 'I have an appointment this morning at , tell the first lieutenant to take the rides,' :S the sergeant ma jor goes, to the senior subaltern and gives him the message, and the latter saysr 'What! the captain will be away? Then I am off hunting; tell the' second lieutenant to take the men.' And the second lieutenant, who is probably .still in bed, says: "What! both of them away? Then I will stay where I ahi. I was up till three this morning at dance; tell the. cornet I am ill, and he must take the rides.' - Finally, the cor net remarks: 'Look here, sergeant ma jor, what is the good of my standing out there In the cold? You know all about it much better than I do, you go and take them.' 'And so it goes, and what must be the end of it all? What can I hope to do with such cavalry be fore the enemy?" .
