Dreadful
Malaria. !

There are numerous diseases having
their origin in the blood, but which on
the surface do not appear to be blood
disease. Such is Malaria, which IS
poison breathcd into the lungs, and thus
taken into the blood and circulated, i'm
buiug the entire system with It's morbid
effects. Those who have suffered from
this dreaded disease know what life
less condition eusues and how the vitality
is wasted away 50 that death is often
caused by some simple malady, because
of the low ebb to which life IS reduced
by this poverty of blood. This condi-
ton of the blood often gives rise to
boils, carburcles, assesses and ulcers,
and not infrequently causes catarrh,
bronchitis, and even consumption.
Captain Henry Bond, late of the U. ).
Navy, has been a sea-larirg man all his
lie, and has been in all parts OF the
world. having sailed twice around the
Cape of Good Hope, once around Cape
Horn and three times through the Suez
Canal. Captain Bond resides at the Ma
tional Military Home, Dayton, Ohio, and
in a recent letter says: For thlrty-tWo
