a Bad conaItion.

We have before called attention to
d great calamity threatening the peo.
pie 81 the South. There is ground
Tor this fear. tn no section of the
country is there greater need for
Liver Medicines tnan in the South,
and this has encouraged unscrupu-
lous persons to take advantage OF
peoples misery and offer them oil
sorts of stuff as a cure all for Liver
troubles. Their crime is greater be
cause they must have acoomplices to
help tham iu their nefarious work
Their preparations are sold to the
druggists ut u low price, And the
big profit TO the druggist is the road
by which they leach the public
Druggists of high honor will not be
party to such nm outrage. Beware
of any dealer who tells you that any
Liver Medicine is just the sauie, or
as good as Simmons Liver Regulator,
put up by j. II. zeilin & CO. You
know it by the Red 2 on the pnck

FOR MEN ONLY.

Humiliating blood diseases can be
cured. This is not theorys it is a
fact. Cures are being made every
day, though they are not made in a
day. The reason why so many sui
fer without hope s.because they have
been 80 often induced to try impos
eible remedies. The man who says
that blood disease Gun lie cured by
n local application or operation is q
fraud. There is but one way; the
blood must be purified. When that
is done the disease disappears. The
best purifier is David's Sarsaparilla.
It does the work when others fail.

a narrow line. Such examples serve as
precedents for action when similar things
come up for decision. There was
superintendent of the dead letter Office
under a former administration who with
held from the flames for his own delec-
tation certain particularly choice speci-
mems in the way of improper photographs,
etc, which he used to exhibit with glee
to the newspaper men-but of that let
not word go further
Many prosecutions might be based Upon
the contents of letters and parcels that
Breach the dead letter office. But that Of
flee is entirely divorced from the legal
business of the postoffice department The
seal of confluence rests upon all matter
thus received, and is respected by the gov
eminent. The penalty, by the way. of send
ing indecent stun through the post is a
maximum of 5000 fine and five years at
hard labor for each offense proved. Thus
a person who makes a business of violat-
ing the statue may easily get himself sent
to prison for half his life.
Immense numbers of cigarette pictures,
many of them more or less improper, used
to reach the. dead letter office. This fact
was due chiefly TO fad for collecting such
photographs that was exceedingly popular
among boys. The youngsters exchanged
them by mail. All of those received at the
postoffice department were burned in the
furnace. OF course, the producers of these
pictures ventured as close as they dared
TO the line of actual indecency. The cigar
cite manufacturers entered into arrange
ments with photographers by which the
pictures were turned out on an enormous
scale. The photographers went into the
market and purchased all the photographs
suitable for their purpose that they could
get, including portraits of actresses, dan
GERS, and even society women I'm ball cos
tune. Girls were even hired TO pose in
suggestive attitudes. The photographs OBJ
tanned were mounted in sizes matched on
huge cards, 100 or more on each. Each
card was placed before the camera and re
produced on a smaller scale. From the re-
sulting negative whole sheets were turned
off. the little photographs being afterward
cut apart and delivered to the cigarette
manufacturer. In this simple manner they
could be reproduced by millions.
