THROUGH ALL THE AGES of study and
investigation which have marked the
path of scientific discovery, one especial
ly aluring object has tempted the in
lquiries and speculations of philosophers
1t is what the wizards and witches of
olden time, the jGggiers of India, sooth-
savers of Arabia, Magi of Egypt, NEGRO
mancers of Turkey and the Orient and
alchemists of civilized Europe have
sought but sought in vain--a oegetable
noa-poisonous Eltrif, which, by cleansing
the blood, removing from the system all
impurities, strengthening the nerves, the
muscles and the brain, and vitalizing
every fiber of the system, should bid de-
fance to the corroding hand of disease.

being used in that country by the polite

mill was carried into England from Hol-
land in 1868, but its introduction so dis
pleased the English that the enterprise
was abandoned. A second attempt was
then made at Limehouse, and the mill

it was pulled down by mob. Pottery is

This mode of baking was Introduced into

SO enraged their neighbors that pcrsecu-

strong that they were compelled to give

brought it forward as a standard of

the name of "SwingSwang."

that the pumps were in good order be set them
