Thousands of persons are poisoned in
America by the continued use of Mer-

Mercury works its way into the tissues,
producing rheumatism and decay of the

was caught and prevented from tearing 8
his harness or doing any damage. The

Anxious PafroGpls.

DR.. Bliss, during the 80 days he was
in charge Of Garfield, received in all
over seven Thousand letters. Fully
one. half of these letters were absolutely
devoid of sense. The other half related
to mechanical contrivances that eager
inventors wished to place at the White
House. The average inventor regarded
the White House at that time as he
would State or county fair, AZ fine
place in which to exhibit goods. One
Of the most singular ideas running
through all this correspondence was the
popular belief In the good effects OF
the TRANSMISSION of blood. There were
any number of volunteers, and one
Wisconsin hero offered his entire LIES
blood If it would save the President.

Many thousands of dollars have been

We do not doubt that many thousands
more will be lost in the same way. We
do not expect to put an end to such
speculations. We only wish purchasers
to know that those who are bulling'
