moralized state that dealers report a
wide range of prices. Many vary as
much as &c per ID in their selling fg-

The weak ana the impure.

The merry little mountain brook,
as it lightly dances over the rocks
and sparkles in the sunshine on its
way down to the river, is pure and
clean. 1t is active; therefore, it is
healthy. 1t is vigorous; therefore,
it resists impurity.
But the sluggish pool, where the
current is not strong enough to keep
the water in motion, is stagnant and
foul. Dirt and rubbish are thrown
into it, and stay there. Impurities
and vile odors make II a breeder Of
disease and an object to be avoided.
When the blood is strong and rich
and red, and vigorously courses its
accustomed rounds through arteries
and veins, the system is hearty and
healthy.
When the blood is thin and poor
and weak, impurities and dehlements
creep into it, and it has no strength
to cast them out. Then the system
runs down. - 4.I
