nor can corrupt blood impart health,
beauty and good flesh, or spirits. "The
Blood is the Life" and health can only
be enjoyed in its full perfection where
the blood is kept in o pure and uncor-
rupted state, hence the necessity of pure
blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant
spirits, long life and happiness.
An impure condition of the blood,
manifests itself in different forms of
diseases, such as letter, Salt Rheum,
Scald-head, Ring Worms, Pimples, Boils
Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules,
Carbuncies, Sore Eyes, Rough Skin,
Scurf, Scrofulas Sores and Swellings,
Fever Sores, White Swellings, Tu-
mors, Old Sores or Swellings, Syphilitic
Affections of the Skin, Throat and
Bones, Ulcers Of the Liver, Stomach,
Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus.
In this condition of things something
is needed at once to cleanse the blood,
and neutralize the insiduous poison that

MEMPHIS THEATER Tonight Nc.
Wade will commence an engagement at
the theater in Rip Van Wrinkle, it being
his own version or adaptation of the
plot, as cleaned from Washington Irv-
ing's charming story. His conception
of the character he claims to be entirely
his own, and not patterned after the
great Jefferson, or other lesser lights
who have made rip" specially. OF
Mr.. McWade's representation of the
character it will be time to speak after
he appears, but it must be admitted that
he gives very attractive and dramatic
rendition of the role. The cast is very
good. The drama has not been pro-
duced on the Memphis boards for some
time, and It will no doubt draw well dur
ing the week.
WEDNESDAY MATINEE. AT the
matinee Wednesday afternoon Mr..
Harry Everett takes a benefit. The
dramatic attractions will be the Seri-
Gus Family and the Limerick Boy.
Mr.. McWade has kindly consented
to appear in aid of the beneficiary,
and in the latter piece will take
the role of Paddy Miles Boy" which
character he plays excellently well, as
all theater-goers win remember. Mr..
Everett has been leading comedian of
the company during the present season.
and has been very successful in his eff
forts to please the public. He is good
actor and worthy gentleman, deserv-
ing that which he will no doubt receive
at the hands of the public-a crowded
house.
