PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood 3 the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that MotAimg but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

must have been in the graduate in an alkaloid

Something Ahout the Care Of Boots
md Shoes.


l. Very few people give Boots or Shoes
proper care In keeping them we'll oiled,
etc Oil is the essential life Of leather,
wear any length Of time unless properly
oiled and cared for.
2. II very frequently happens that
Boots and Shoes arc put To Il rollgher use
than that for which they were intended.
For instance. q man will put on light
Kip or Calf Boot in farm work, or other
hard wear, thinking that because it cost
him more than stoga, that IL ought 20
give him as n lch or more wear. while
the feet Is that the Boot Is too light for
the use no is making of 1t, and caunot
be expected IN stand.
3. Many Boots and Shoes arc burned
when wet. IT Is Il we'll established fact
that leather burns much more easily
whom wet than when dry. 1t does not
burn when wet from actual hea', hut
from steam generated in the pores OF the
leather by tho action Of tho heat upon
the water In the leather, which scalds it..
A burn Of this kind seldom shows at
first, but as tho leather dries, 1t immedi-
ately cracks ont where burned, and the
wesrer Is puzzled to know what Is tho
matter. and biames the maker, when ne
himself is alone at fault.
4. Many people are tronhled with
sweaty feet. The sweat from the foot
will crack any leather no matter how
good. Such persons should never wear
wooden stockings.
