A Note of Warming to Suffering
Humanity.

We feel that we would be want
ing in the duty we owe to suffering
humanity if we did not sound a
note of warning in regard to the use
of Mercury and other poisonous
minerals in the treatmentofB Blood
and Skin Diseases. If the reader
could see the horrible suffering
the awful wrecks of human health
and happiness, shown by our cor
respondence with those who have
been dosed with these mineral
poisons, he would shudder with
horror. Arsenic, Mercury, Anti
mony, and Iodide of Potassium
are some Of the remedies most or
dinarily used for these diseases,
and they are all POISON. Do
not take these poisons. They
might dry up your disease for a
few days,and with it you will have
Mercurial Rheumatism, which may
bring you years of torture. The
Mercury seems to sink into the
bones, and the potash drives the
Poison into the system, only to
lurk there and attack the tender
organs of the body, as the lungs,
the threat, the nasal organs Of the
stomach. Hundreds of people
have beenmade deaf, and great
many blind, by the use of Mercury
and Potash. Beware of Mercury
and Potash Mixtures gottenup in
imitation of our Specific. A few
grainsof sugar of lead dropped
into glass of these limitations
will cause the poisonous drugs tc
fall to the bottom, and show the
danger of using them. Swift'f
Specific is entirely vegetable, and
is the best tonic for delicate ladies
and children and old people in the
world.

other things he says:
The acting was first rate, they turned
nand springs, stood on their heads,
jumped, etc. One fellow jumped 50
foot high from spring board, and
turned I39 summersaults coming down,
fact. 1he bareback rider was .'way
up They stood up on the horse
back while he was running and danced
and jumped through paper hoops. etc

girls didn't have nothing but a white
veil pinned around their waists. III

fit that could ride worse bucking
cayuse than m Giles, though. They
had some trick dogs, and any one OF
them actually knew more than Shar-
mans Tige does. What | wonder at,
is that the Circus don't use American
horses in the ring instead OF Pinto
cayuses.
In little show on the side they
had Living Skeleton that only
weighed nineteen pounds, but he
loved he could punish as much Boze
man whisky as anyone. Then there
was fat woman that weighed As much
as a three year old steer. They had a
snake charmer. but the reason why
they didn't bite her WAS because she
was SO ugly they was afraid she'd pol
