1. Beware
 Of Mercury!

Whenever q doctor is called upon to treat blood disease, tbe result nine times out of ten ;s that the treatment is worse than the disease, and in a short while the patient finds his condition far worse than it was at first. The reason of this is that uotwith- standing the great progress made in surgery, and in soIne branches of med icine, the doctors have failed absolute ly to discover a cure for blood diseases. Whether in the form of pill, powder CT liquid, their treatment is always the same potash and mercury - which temporarily dry mp the poison in the system and no sooner has it taken on the full effects of these powerful drugs, than that supplcness and elasticity of the joints give way to stiffness, fol lowed by the racking pains of rlieu- matism. Then follows loss of hair and finger nails, and even decay of the boues-a condition most horrible.

NOT TRUE.
The Reprt that Three Men
 Were Killed by Indians.

The folloyin from the Sulphur Val ley News. denies the killing oi th, three men by Indians in the Chirica- qua mountains. a lew days ago, AS ws- reported in the PRusPEcToE. I'm news was also received in Wilcox br alter fOuned 10 bs a canard. IL says:
 Last Friday nigh: at II o'clock II government courier came to Wilcox rom Rucker canyon with the starilinv intelligence that ci'izen had arrived at the soldiers camp the night befor, and reported the killing nf three men ny Indians on Cave Greek. He gay. he names of .lIe men as Hand, Rect and Stafford, three well known stock men, and stated that the killin, occurred on Cave creek, short ,ii.- tence above the plsce where Alirea Hand was killed by Indians about month ago.
 Lieutenant Bullock. in command o' he troop G! cavalry now stationed si tucker canyon, immediately dis
 slchsi one courier to Fort Gran, t" nfurm Col Summer Of the killing, and mother 10 Lieutenant Rice, who is in he field near the Spnora lire witt
 nhisn scouts, so that he would be on he lopkou, for Indians passing from he Unitei States into Mexico. Then .sinya d.tachment of sol,iiers iron, his troop Lieutensn, Bullock went to Cave creek himself in hot haste, onl, 70 tird the whole story falsehoed and men reported killed peacefully en- .sged in herdiug their stock. No, an Indian was in the country nor wa ;hefe A report Q! my.
 Whether the man who brought the report 10 the soldiers nt Rucke. can von had been mi-inlormed or msnu- f.ctured the story ont oi pure cussed- ness, we do not know, hu; if it wa, lone fer F. joke, in our opinion the jnEer should receive about year in he pen:te ntisry for being so funny. The Seventh cavalry have the r=pu. 's,ion Of heinz the most gallant regi- 'nent in the J. :. Army. and they de- ire 60 sustain their reputation. Since 'hey arrived in Arizona at least twu troops have been kept con-tautly in he field and plans are new being per- 'acied which will certainly lead to tn, ipstruction of iha sma!! band of rene ,sde Indians who have been respon- ihle for SO many murders Tn Ariznns hiring the pas; eight years.
 IL is to the interest ei the resident. pf souihea stern Aiizona to aid th' .old;ers al they can in ihe pursuit oi hese rcd ficnds, ard in nc better way ran the stock men and cowt oys in the .psrs-ly settled country help in this matter than in every instance when hey h-sr 0! a depreciation being com uitttd, to fir.t iird out ii :he rumOr ]. rue and then make all pns-ihle mast. % the nearest telegraph office and send 'he report to Fort Grant or Huachuca. | few wild goore cha.es, -uch as Lient.
