AN UGLY DISCOVERY.
A Report that should he Iiead.

"a recent anslyzatlon In Philadelphia by a
celebrated chemist Of ten popular brands of
sarsaparilla disclosos the astonishing fact
that these ten samples of blood purifiers ~
contained In the aggregate sirteea different
minerals, eleven Of lAch We're active poi
sons. lodide of Potash was discovered In
every sample, mercury was found In all but
two, while arsenic existed In six of the ton
brands. Not one brand was the pure article"
A reporter took the above clipping to Z. W.
Joy, the manufacturer of joys Vegetable sar-
saparilla- Mr.. Joy yexhibited no surprise. He
said druggists knew H. He said he long ago
saw the crying need for safe and absolutely
pure vegetable preparation of sarsaparilla,
hence his was named joys Vegetable sarsapa'
rilla, because II contained nothing bat pure
syrup OF sarsaparilla, combined with the pure
juices of Caliiornia's vegetable alternatives.
Unlike potash sarsaparillas, II does not force
impurities through the skin, but stimulates
the various secretiye organs, thereby correct
ing functional arrangements and eliminating
all impurities through the natural channels

Sitting on the Safety Valve.

Many are they who have laughed
at the story of the green steamboat
fireman who sat on the safety valve
to prevent it "leaking." Yet thou.
sands are repeating his folly every
day. They are troubled with pim-
pies, blotches, eruptions, salt rheum,
boils carbunclcs, ulcers and old sores,
and are contenting themselves with
suppressing the symptoms without
removing the cause. They sit on
these safety valves by which nature
is driving out blood impurisies, in
stead of using DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, which cures by
removing the cause, which is in the
blood. 1t is a wonderful blood pu-
rifier and invigorating tonic.
Do you think the proprietors of
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy would
offer, rs they have done for many
years, a standing reward of $500 for
a case of catarrh which they cam
not cure, if they dld not positively
know that the Remedy will abso-
lutely and permanently cure ca
tarrh? Sold by druggists, at only

IT is "A fact not generally knowi
that the postal card was first intro

A CASE without II parallel has
come to light recently at ltagusa,
Twenty years ago u peasant emigra-
ted to America, leaving his wife In
charge of the village functionaries.
Each month lie sent fifty florins to
the guardian tor the support of his
wife. This guardian was II rascal,
however, and only gave the woman
five fiorins monthly, keeping the
balance himself. This went on for
fifteen years, at the end of which
time the dishonest official forged
certificates of death of the husband
and wife and sent them to each.
Being thus apparently free, the man
married again In America and be-
came prosperous. The wife, how
ever, descended into the depths, of
poverty, and was forced to beg for a
Lying. Not long since the husband,
with his American family, visited
Ragusa, and one of the first persons
he met was his own wife, begging
on the wharf. Recognition follow
ed on both sides, and some sort Of
amicable settlement was made. The
official who had caused all the
trouble had left the country in the
mean time.
