BAD COMPLICATIONS.
The Secret OF their Cause Fully Ex-
plained-Why Ladies' are Sallow
and Men PaIlld-some Valuable
Facts on the Subject.

In passing along the leading streets In almost
any city In America tO.day, ono will meet with
but few ladies who have clear compilations.
Many persons have tried to account for this sad
fact because Of tho severe climate OF America,
but such reasoning is wrong. A bud complex.
ion Is caused by impure blood, aud no lady can
be really beautiful and no man ruddy, who has
diseased or impure blood.
The best known way OF keeping the blood
pure Is by keeping II circulating. In this way
II passes rapidly through the lungs, kidneys and
liver, aud Is constantly purified. hut EuppOSlng
the system y clogged up, As.is frequently the
ease, then OF course the blood becomes impure.
Then far too often men and women take some
powerful purEatiye, pill or other sl distance, that
clears the body quickly, weakens tho strength,
and leaves the system Ia worse condition than
before. The only sensible way Is to take q gCti.
tie, pure and natural pufRAtlve, moderately but
regularly, and tho highest known medical all.
thOriiles Of the day agree that the genuine I'm.
ported Carlsbad SprudGl Salt Is Infinitely Bupe.

the world II Is gentle, yet stimulating; i 4:

Carlsbad Sprudel Spring, II cannot lnlurc the
body ll the least, and yet II la! never Jailed to

complexion. Hundreds Of doctors have giveh.It
their unqualified endorsements; thousands Of
people GO each year 10 tho Carlsbad Springs, but
They can obtain no greater benefit than by taking

The Mugwumps, aud some Democrats
from whom something better was to be
expected, are hRmmeriug the President
because he did not give Postmaster Pear
son another term in the New York post
office. They refer to President Clcve'
land, saying, behold, there was a Demo-
cratic President who retained Republic
can in the most profitable postofice In
the country.
1t was never a secret that Postmaster
Pearson was retained because in the
campaign oflSS4 he was not in sympathy
with the Republican nominees; because
he desired the defeat Of those nominees
and did what he COULD for the election
OF Mr.. Cleveland.
