Don't neglect such warnings.
That pain in your shoulder may develop
into rheumatism, and months sickness
deprive You of the income of your toll.
That white, furry tongue denotes your
liver is out of order, and disease would
easily take root in your system.
What could you do then!
Think of your business, your income and
your family.
Seek safety as you would fly from cholera
or small pox.
You are in danger If you neglect these
warnings. They may pass off, but the
chances are against you, and even then the
poison is only latent in your system.
Do not, however, put your trust in the
numerous mineral medicines with which
the market is flooded. The action of many
of these decoctions comes from mineral
poisons they contain, such rs mercury. ar

mention of the direct tax refund, ship subsidies,

of tribes back on the territory claimed
by other tribes as settlement aud

demOralizing effects, incident TO the
first contacts OF savagery and civiliza-

More than two-thirds of all the
Indians in the country cultivate the
soil and support themselves wholly
or in part by various industrial pur-
suits. The remaining third have al
ranced and are still advancing toward
the same goal. The diversity of
dialect, one OF their chief sources of
weakness in the past, is giving place
to the language Of civilization.
Considering these facts, Major
Powell believes that the turning point
