The Rawhide Roller Question.

TO the Editor of the Free Press and Times:
| would respectfully refer the inquirer
in Wednesday mornings FREE PRESS, as
to whether "rawhide rollers are proscrib
ed' to No. 81, of the Massachusetts polo
rules from which the following extracts
are taken:
"Skates shall be fitted with common box
wood rollers, which shall turn freely upon
the spindles they shall not he plugged,
rosined or sandcd or differ in any way
from the common skates, etc" Also as
follows from other New England polo
club rules Rule No. % "All games shall
be played upon regular rink skates, with
out any extra appliances, and having
plain revolving lockwood rollers, not less
than one and three-quarter inches in
diameter, and not exceeding one inch in
width, and no other will be allowed. :"
Now il the inquirer can in any way con
vert rawhide into lockwood he has a for
tune. AS to the objections of the Scar
lets" being far fetched, we are content to
leave that to the decision of those who
know the game.

A Secretion that Contaminates the Blood.

When the bile is diverted from its proper
channels, into the blood which is always the
case in liver complaints, it ceases to be Il

abnormal presence in the circulation and
stomach is indicated by the SutfuSOn of the
skin with a hdCOuS saffron tmgc, by head
aches, vertigo, nausea, pain in the right side
and under the right shoulder blade, by indi-
gestiOu, obstruction OF the bowels and other
minor symptoms. Order may be substituted
for this state OF chaos, and further bodily evil

relaxing the bowels, promotes the escape from
the circulation of bilious impurities besides
rendering the action of the liver regular and
removing every trace of dyspepsia. This

than any form of mercury, but is on account
of its freedom from hurttul properties. intini-
tcly to be preferred to that poisonous drug.
