DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

:" The life of the flesh is in the Blood" is a
Scriptural maxim that science proves to be
true. The people talk of bad blood, as the
cause of many diseases, and like many popu-
lar opinions this of bad blood is founded in
truth.
The symptoms Of bad blood are usually quite
plain--bad Digestion-causes imperfect nutri-
ton. and consequently the circulation is fee
Bile, the soft tissues lose their tone and elastic
ity, and the tongue becomes pale, broad, and
frequently covered with pasty, white coat.
This condition soon shows itself in roughness Of
the skin, then in ERUPrIvE and LUCRATIVE
diseases and when long continued, results in
serious LESSONS of the Brain, Liver, Lungs, or
urinary apparatus. Much, very much, suffer-
ing is caused by impure blood. tits estimated
by some that one-ffth of the human family
are effected with scrofula in some form.
When the Blood is pure, you are not so liza
BILE to any disease. Many Impurities of the
Blood arise from impure diseases of large
cities. Eradicate every impurity from the
fountain of life, and good spirits, fair skin
and vital strength will return to you.

KosKoo. This medicine is rapidly
gaining the confidence of the people, and
the numerous testimonials Of its virtues,
given by practitioners of medicines
leave no doubt that it is safe and re-
liable remedy for IMPURrTY OF THE BLOOD,
that speaks in hig terms of its curative
properties, and give special recon-
mendation of Koskoo to the practitioners
of medicine. This is, we believe, the first
instance where such medicines have been
officially Endorsed by the faculty of any
of the medical colleges, and reflects great
credit upon the skill of DR.. Lawrence,

EXPLANATION; sl2 MAKES YOU A
~ member of the Association--i. Q. $40 for
policy, 81 medical examination fee, and 81
contingent fee, said 81 payable yearly in adj
vance for office expenses: On the death of n
surviving member, which is the amount paid
to the widow or beneficiary of the deceased
member, thirty days being given to pay in the
assessment of 81 after due notification. When
the Association numbers several thousand
they will be classed according to ages. viz: All
between the ages of Is and 25 years in one
class, and all between % and IS years in an
other, and SO on up to 65 years, which is the
limit; and every class to be carried TO 5000
members, then each policy will be worth
$4,000. Until that time each policy will be
worth double the number of dollars as there
a member the surviving members Of his class
only are assessed the 81. The policy fee of $40.
or the greater portion Of it, is made a sinking
fund to provide for the delinquencies of mem
bers and said fund is loaned on interest. the
interest accruing therefrom, after defraying
ers as dividends. The advantages over or

panics can break it; the fees are so small and
required to be paid at such long intervals, that
any and every man can secure to his family
competency upon his death. This Company
