suspend his remarks few moments, to al

was pending, considerable confusion pre-
vailed. Yells for "Harris,' - paul" Grid

'svote on the committee" 'are you read

nally the committee was announced. While
Capt. Sibert was on the stand, with paper
in his hand, Harris, pointing to the paper,
said s'you have it all cut and dried an

state here and now that he was opposed to
all rings, the Richmond ring. the Staunton

there was no movement particularly against

opposed him all his life, and his friendship
was OF that kind that went over the left

MYTHS ARE BUr SYMBOLS OF TRUTH.

As the scholar sees in the vain and beautiful
mythologics of the ancents the embodied express
ions OF the hungry human soul, bindly grouping
after the Infinite, so the physician sees in that pop
ular myth Of the sixteenth century the fountain of
perpetual health and youlh-au expression of the
longings of suffering humanity for remedy that
should forever prevent the incursion of disease
The wllds OF Europe were ransacked for this Won
derful fountain, and Ponce de Leon sought for it
in the cypress-swamps and tangled everglades of
our sunny Florida Men have searched for 1t every
where and anywhere but where it really is-in the
human boy itself The blood is the real fountain
of perpetual health and youth. When this source
is corrupted, the painful and sorrow producing
effects are visible in many shapes. The multilari-
QUO forms IN which il maniiests tselfwould form
subjects upon which might write volumes. But
as all the varied forms of disease which depend
upon bad blood are cured, or best treated by such
medicines AS take up from this fluid and eXcrete
fromthe system the Nl Gus elements, IL Is not OF
practical Importance that should describe each,
For instance medical authors describe about IF y
varieties of skin disease, bu they all require for
their cure very similar treatment, it is OF no prac.
teal utility to know just what name to apply TO Il
certain form Of skin disease so you know how be
to cure 1t. Then again, might go on and describe
various kinds Of sCroiulous sores, fever sores,
white swengs, enlarged glands, and ulcers OF
varying appearance; might describe how vlrulent
poison may show itself in various forms of erup-
tons, ulcers sore throat, bOny tumors, ETC.; but
all these various-appearing manifestations OF bad
blood ar cureu by uniform means, deem such Il
course unnecessary. Thoroughly cleanse the
blood, which Is the great fountain OF life, and
good digestion, u fair skin, buoyant spirits,
vital strength, and soundness of constitution, will
all return TO us. For this purpose DR.. Pierces
