Every symptom suggests pollution; the discharge the red, angry flesh, the inflammation and discoloration of surrounding parts all show that the ulcer is kept open by a constant drainage through it, of impurities from the blood. ‘ When the blood is pure and healthy any cut, bruise or wound will heal readily; when W from any cause, however, the blood has become infected with germs or poisons the place® becomes a sore or ulcer, sometimes scabbing over, but never fully healing, because it is kept irritated and inflamed by the impurities in this vital fluid.

S. to any who are in need of a remedy for an old sore In 1877 I had my leg badly cut by a barrel hoop and having on a blue woolen stocking my lug was badly poisoned from the dye. A great sore formed and for years no one knows what I suf fered v/ith the place. Nothing would heal the ul cer and I thought y I would have logo . ough life with a discharging, aa- :y sore on my leg. A short while o I commenced to use S. S. S. and I soon saw that the place v. r as im- . ”c.ving. I continued the use of it cntil my leg was entirely healed and the skin or insignificant hurt of any character will become a sore that refuses to heal, and remains for years, eating into the surrounding flesh, resist ing treatment and sometimes terminating in Cancer. The poison in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional disease, the ef fects of a long spell of sickness leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption of refuse matters of the bod\ which have not been properly expelled through the channels of bodily waste. Rut whatever the cause the vitality and pur ity of the blood is so weakened I had a large sore or ulcer on my face and nothing that I tried would benefit me It began with shooting pains and soon the itching was terrible. At first it discharged a watery fluid which changed to a thicker compo sition and the pain was very re- 1 vsre. It was near ly as large as a dollar and terri bly inflamed in all the surrounding parts. It had been tkr.re so long and growing worse all the time, I became very much di»- cor ’-ay| i and alarmed.

There are no printers in the Ohio penitentiary While the printers wdre in tlm penitentiary they issued a publication, but suddenly it was discontinued and upon inquiry it was found there was not a printer left in imprisonment. It is said that there are enough bankers there to start a clearing house, enough Preach ers to form a minsterial association, and brokers to operate a stock ex change. The moral is obvious, even If one does have to improve on Mark Twain to point it out. Mark said: “De good and you’ll be lonesome.” He should have said: “Be good and you’ll be printers.” But really this ’ well for the craft, and we note it with pleasure. As a class Printers are the most Intelligent class of workmen we have, and we are glad to know that when it comes to being good that thev are in a class to themselves^ In Rural England.

One farm, containing The Caterpillar. If any schoolboy were asked to give the derivation of “caterpillar” he would say that it had something to do with “cat.” And he would be right. The common explanation oL “caterpillar” is that it is the old French “chatepelose,” which means literally “hairy cat” and is very like the English “woolly bear.” The last two syllables suggested the English “piller,” a plunderer, and “caterpillar” was the regular spell ing until the seventeenth century. Dr. Murray’s dictionary suggests that the word may have come straight from “cat” and “pillar.” A Lombard word for caterpillar is “gatta” (cat) and a Swiss word “teu- felskatz” (devil’s cat), while a “cat kin” is the vegetable imitation of the caterpillar.
