Skin Diseases.

What spectacle is more disgusting
than that Of man or woman with a
skin disease which sh ows itself in
pimp'es or blotches on hands, arms
face and neck? It is SIMPLY impure
blood. See what RHANDREru's Pills
did for chronic case:
George Chapman, Pincening, Mich,
says:
For four years was in the
Mounted Infantry in the u. S. Army,
residing cu'i"g that time principally ia
Texas. Almost all of that time | had
chronic skin disease, characteriz" d
by an eruption over the entire surface
OF my legs and thighs, arms and
chest. The ioct RS termed it eczema.
| had given up all hope of ever being
cured, when BRANDRETu's PILLS
VIZ recommended to me. | con.
cluded to try them. and have
thanked God daily since then that !
did so. used them for about three
months, and by that time was cons
pletely cured and have !. ever had any

II Without Newspapers.

Excnangel
What would the world be without
the newspaper? What a spectacle
would be presented if the press should
stop for three months? No news,
papers; no current information
through convenient channels; nothing
reliable as to the move ments of the
outside world; the wheels Of com.
merce blocked; the constant and un>
reliable rumors of every conceivable
nature passing from mouth to mouth,
and general state of stupidity
What a world we should have! An
initiate the topographic art and where
should we be? AS well blot out the
sun, and let mankind grope in per
petual darkness. The blackness tina,
wouli enshtoud the minds Of the peo-
pie might be lkened only to the class
that existed when the Almig hty said:
Let there be light"
In the vide world there is no news
paper but must be Of some use and
capable of doing some good. The
man who causes four spears Of grass
to grow where only three grew before
has done some good, and the publish
er who has hel ped the cause of edu.s-
ton through the power of the press
has not lived in vain. The newspa-
per is like one who scars into the aerial
canopy over the earth. and beholds in
one grand vein the wide and varied
surface marking the emotions Of the
busy tribes of men beneath tereo>
typing for other eyes the working Of
those on the beach and in the field,
and noting the vibrations and activity
of all earth's activity.
The power of the press can hard
ly be estimated. And yet how few,
even among the most intelligent.
men in the land, really appreciate the
newspaper, and with what grudging,
stinted hands do many of them dole
out the limited means necessary to its
support. Too much information ex.
pected for too little pay; too much
gratuitous work is required, and the
cost of production goes unconsidered
always.
