Whether in the form of piil powder
or liquid, the doctor’s prescription for
blood diseases is always the same-
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up the poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time. •
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to a stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema
turely take possession of the body, and
it is but a short step to a pair of
crutches. Then comes falling of
the hair and decay of the bones,—a con
dition truly horrible.

it has got so now. and I reckon it has
always been the case, the men that
ride around and bosses around and
lias a good time recieves more pay per
day tliun laboring men. I think the
scales aught to turn. Some grown
men will work for six or seven dollars
u month. All such rr.scais aught to
be drummed out of this country for
all such men causes low wages. Boys

It is not claiming too much to say he is the
greatest living orator. Born in Shelby, N. C.,
in 1864, graduated with highest honors at the
age of 19, and was elected to the Legislature
of North Carolina at the age of 20. Studied
law, but afterwards felt it his duty to preach.
His fame soon spread and at the age of 23 was
called to the pastorate of one of the oldest
churches in Boston. In i 8b9 he was called to
New York, which is still his field of operations.
Rev Sam Jones says of him: “He is the best
lecturer I ever heard and I have heard them
