1t certainly is disheartening to pa
tient to find that the treatment he is
given for disease is more disastrous
than the disease itself. Such is the
case, however, with the usual treat
ment given for diseases of the blood.
Notwithstanding the great progress
made in many branches of medicine,
the doctors have failed absolutely to
find a successful treatment for blood
poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know
but one treatment, and whether in
the form of powder, pill or liquid, the
doctors prescription is always the
same-potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said of the harm
full and disastrous effects of these drugs.
The doctors are unable to rid the sys-
tenn of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering up the symp-
toms from view. There is but one eff
feet to be obtained from potash and
mercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry it up in the system, but it
must be remembered that they dry up
the marrow in the bones at the same
time, gradually consuming the vital
ity. Those disiguring copper-colored
sp1otches are but indications of worse
results to follow. No sooner has the
system taken on the full effects of this
powerful drug than that supplenesS
and elasticity or the joints gives wa,
to stiffness, followed by the racking
pains of rheumatism. The form grad

A LATE FROST.
SSH" the Bully, Attempts to Dig Out
of Prison.

Sill Frost, the negro who so brutally
beat and kicked Ike Johnson in the
alley between Second and Third L and
M streets, on Monday night, evidently
| recognized the enormity of his offense,
and decided to stay no longer in dur
ance than he could help.
He was put in a cell on the ground
floor of the City Prison, commonly
known as the female cell,'' about 10
o'clock at night. Tuesday morning, as
| rounds, he found that the light in the
cell had been extinguished
| The Sergeant made an investigation
and found that Frost had draped a
1 blanket over the door leading into the
corridor, and was sitting in the cubby-
hole of window viewing the beauties
| of the night. He said he had put up the
| blanket to keep out the draft.
| Plunkett, however, hauled the man
down from his perch, when it was dis
covered that he had, with the stub-end
of pine broomstick, ripped the sheet
| iron from the air hole, and succeeded in
displacing about forty bricks, which he
| had concealed beneath his mattress
In another hour Frost would have
made his escape. He is not a new hand
at the business, having given the coun-
| ty Jallers the slip some months ago.
When arrested he said his brother must
have beaten Johnson, but as his broth
er, Chick Frost, is doing a six-years'
sentence at the Folsom Prison. his
story was hard to swallow.

Under this treatment, it is but a short

fed the doctors, and it is in this dis
ease that the evils of mercury and
potash are most common, because
these drugs are given in such large
doses in an effort to counteract the
poison. While they succeed in bottling
up the poison in the system, it always
breaks forth again, attacking some
delicate organ, frequently the mouth
and throat, filling them with eating
sores. S. S. S. is the only known cure
for III = terrible disease.
1t is the same in other diseases OF
the blood. Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, all are given the same
treatment by the physicians-Inercury
and potash, and the result as above sci
forth is always the same.
