We hear great deal about
purifying the blood. The
way to purify it is TO enrich
it. Blood is not a simple
fluid like water. 1t is made
up of minute bodies and
when these are deficient, the
blood lacks the life-giving
principle. SCOTS Emulsion is
not a mere blood purifier. 1t
actually increases thenumber
of the red corpuscles in the
blood and changes unhealthy
action into health.
If you want to learn more
of it we have a book, which
tells the story in simple words.

At the Orpheum.

number of good novelties have been added
to the Orpheums bill this week. Stuart, the
male Patti, is one of the cleverest inper-
senators seen here for some time He has all
the mannerisms of the female music hall
artist, dresses sumptuousy, and has great
store of vocal fireworks, which he emits so
carefully and deli cately that his voice does
not convey the impression OF being falsetto,
although he shows that it is by occasionally
varying the monotony with a remark i'll a
deer bass voice.
Equilibrists are so numerous that they have
TO be very clever 10 attract even passing attic n
ton, but the RONALD Brothers gave some ex-
ceptionally good work last night nd won the
applause they merited. Langslow, another
new conner, who is billed as the Shooting Star,
gave n skillful exhibition of fancy shooting
while balancing himself on the slackwlre, and
Ellen Vetter gave an extraordinary perform
ance with the aid of an aluminium globe.
Locked up inside the globe, she made it ascend
a spiral pathway, fired pistol from the
summit through opening in the globe and
then descended. managing in some Ingenious
wayto keep the globe from rolling down head
