gentleman is we'll and iavorably known
among our citizens, who will no doubt read
the above with profound sorrow.

The Age OfDiscOverv

The real benefactor is the one who
alleviates the greatest amount of hui
man suffering. Very few are free
from the communicating influences of
impure blood. Gross poisons rankle
in the veins of all classes. impairing
the physical and mental powers.
Some poisons are transmitted by he
reditary descent, others originate in
the stomach by reason of improper
food and drink. In many instances
the blood becomes vitiated by coming
in contact with an impure atmosphere
in the lungs, through the pores by
lack of proper cleanliness Of the per-
son and other causes.
