Bottled DBL.

Whether in the form of pill powder
or liquid, the doctors prescription for
blood diseases is always the same
mercury OF potash. These drugs bottle
up and poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to a stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema-
turely take possession of the body, and
it is but a short step to a pair of
crutches. Then comes falling of
the hair and decay of the bones,-ac con-
dition truly horrible.

have little means. But they pay more.
You buy coal by the ton; they buy it by
