It docs not matter how the poison became intrenched in the blood, the fact that the sore is there and does not heal is evidence of a deep, underlying cause. There is nothing that causes more discomfort, worry and anxiety than a festering, discharging old sore that resists treat ment. The very sight of it is abhorrent and suggests pollution and disease; besides the time and attention required to keep it clean and free from other infection. As it lingers, slowly eating deeper into the surrounding flesh, the sufferer- grows morbidly anxious, fearing it may be cancerous.

Sores that do not heal are not due to out side causes ; if they were, external treatment would cure them. They are kept open because the blood is steeped in poison, which finds an outlet through these places. While young people, and even children, sometimes suffer with non-healing sores, those most usually afflicted are persons past middle life. Often, with them, a wart or mole on the face inflames and be gins to ulcerate from a little rough handling ; or a deep, offensive ulcer de velops from a slight cut or bruise. Their vital energies and powers of re sistance have grown less, and circulation weaker, and perhaps some taint in the blood, which was held in check by their stronger constitutions of early life, shows itself. It is well to be sus picious of any sore that does not heal readily, because the same germ that produces Cancer is back of every old sore and only needs to be left in the Dod b’ess all my 'Ittle frlen’a An’ p’eaa* don’t forget a fife. circulation to produce this fatal disease, piipr I V VFCFTARI F There is only one way to cure these old “An’ Dod b’ess ole Santa Claus, rUnCLT ¥ L 11 L inOLt, sores and ulcers, and that is to get every U p I s such a aprendld man! particle pf the poison out of the blood.

There will always be two kinds of lawyers—those who stay in their offices, dealing directly with Hi ents and attending to matters of rou tine, and those who advise on points of law and argue cases in court. These two orders of men are clearly distiguished in America, but they work together as partners to the great advantage of the client.
