CLEANSE THE SYSTEM OF
MORBID MATTER.

The blood, since it contains the constituents of
all the substances of the body, is capable of suffer-
ing every change which all the various tissues or
other fluids experience. 1t can be effected with the
same diseases that reveal themselves in any other
part Of the system. Many diseases, when they are
stance In the system, and unless this be removed
the blood will in time be extensively corrupted,
the glandular system will become diseased, and ali
varieties OF cutaneous eruptons will be produced.
This often occurs in cases Of contagious Diseases.
Nothing can be worse than to leave thiss clas inn
properly cured. La-eu-pi-a will thoroughly
cleanse the blood and entirely from the sys-
tenn all impurities which often cause other dis
eases 70 follow.

different causes. The uterine functions are 6isor-
dered when the menses are unnaturally arrested;
when their quantity is too great or too small when
they are pale and Watery; when they are dark and
7alntngi hts chills or fever; when preceded fol-

as Iallng OF the womb, alterations of the abia in
namation and abscesses of the ovaria; also, con-
gesuont dropsy, polypous and cancerous forma-
lions. When arrangement Of the menses are al
t9Swea q continue they usually bring on consunp
for these diseases and its success has been unpar
alleled. Use i with the first symptoms, before the
disease is OF too long standing, and thus avoid
much suffering and accomplish more speedy cure.

The Action of La-cu-pi-a

La-cu-pi-a, taken internally, is digested like
food and enters into the circulation. Its first
edial action is upon the blood and through thatupon
every part where it is needed. In this way it pur
nes the blood of of bile and acids Of all for
eign and morbid matter, and brings it into q
healthy state. 1t aids nature in expeling the for
eign and destructive elements by the lungs, stom-
ach, bowels, kidneys and skin. The whole system
every secretion, every function, every fluid, depend
for their health upon action, circulation, change
giving and receiying-and the moment these cease
disease, decay and death begin.

THE
NATIONAL DISEASE.
THE
ISIT CuREARLE?


HJHOSE who have suffered from the various and
complicated forms of disease assumed by Ca
tarrh and have tried many physicians and rene
dies without relief or cure, await the answer to
this question with considerable anxiety. And well
they may: for no disease that can be mentioned is
so universally prevalent and so destructive to
health as Catarrh. Bronchitis. Asthama, Coughs,
and serious and frequently fatal affections of the
lungs follow, in many cases case Of simple but
neglected Catarrh. Other sympathetic affections,
such as deafness, impaired eye-sight and loss of
sense of smell, may be referred to minor but
nevertheless serious results of neglected Catarfh,
bad enough in themselves, but as nothing compar-
ed with the dangerous affections of the throat and
lungs likely TO follow.
IT CAN BE CURED.
TT can be cured. There is no doubt about it, The
L immediate relief afforded by SANFORD's RADI-
CAL CURE FOR CATARRH is but a slight evidence of
what may follow persistent Of this remedy.
The hard, incrusted matter that has lodged in the
nasal passages is removed with few applications;
the liberation and Inflammation snbdued and
healed; the entire membranous Innings of the head
are elensed and purified. Constitutionaly its ae-
ton is that of powerful purifying agent, des-
trOying in its course through the system the acid
poison, the destructive agent in catarrhal disease

The Gazette Denies.

The Hot Springs Telegraph thinks all of those anonymous letters which the Gazette in publishing, lauding Col. Bob Johnson to the very skies, are pretty tolerably thin, and mildly lntimates that they are written by the versatile pen of the Gazette edl- tor himself.- Russellyllle DEMO GRAF.
 Our friend of the Russellville DEM ocRAT forgot to mention in the above paragraph that we had also positive ly denied the truth of said intlma- ton. It is s right which every cor respondent has to withhold his name from any communication he may wish to publish, with the reserva- tion, of course, that any one who is wronged by it may make demand for the name of the author. We would much prefer that all our cor respondents should sign theIr own names to their communications, but that is a matter we cannot control. We have written to the author of the communication that gave rise to this controversy, asking him for permis- sion to use his name as q defense against the insinuations that have been made against us. We have no doubt but that privilege will be accorded us; and ifso, we will aston ish as well as confound our accu- sers.- Gazette.

School Statistics.

The school population of Arkansas according to the official report, amounts te 203, ,566. It is probable that ut least 50,000 pupils within the school age have not been enrolled. Estimating the entire population at three times that of the school enroll ment this would make the total popu- lation of Arkansas over 79O,O00. The largest enrolment is in pulaski, which reports l0,423 pupils, the smallest is Polnsett, with 6o5. Ben ton, Hampstead, Jefferson, Philips, Pulaski, Sebastian and Washington each report over 5000.
 The total apportioument foots up as follows Currency, $7,939 l9; State scrip, $l47, ,G97 76, which shows very conclusively that the amount is total ly inadequate to the maiptenance of a of general system of education un- less largely supplemented by the tax which the people may impose upon themselves. But as we have said a score of times the whole question of the success of the public school sys tenn is with the people. If they de- sire to make it success they can do so by adding to the public funds; if they trust to those funds alone-en- tirely inadequate as they now are to the support of the system there will be failure. What we need to do is to impress the pubic mind with the fact in educational matters that the people must rely mainly upon ehemseiyes.-[Lit Rock Demo 1 crat
