far ahead of other similar remedies, because of the results it
produces, and 1t Is IN every way superior to them in the fact
that every ingredient of which it is made is a vegetable one,
gathered from Natures forests; while all other blood remedies,
no matter what else they contain, are composed of some dam
gerous mineral as their basis. Everybody knows the harmful
effects of mercury, potash, sulphur, arsenic, etc, and no one
wishes to pour these minerals into their stomach. T. There is alb
solute safety in s. S. S. (Swifts Specifc), and, while it is per-
fectly harmless, it is the best blood remedy made, forcing out
every impurity and building up and strengthening the system,
rather than filling it with mineral mixtures which spread their
injurious effects throughout the entire body, besides destroying
the digestive organs. Get the best blood remedy, the one that

q It Is q wise precaution which a great many people every.
where take in the spring to purify their blood, and tone up the
general system. 1t is an absolute necessity to assist Nature in
cleaning up the system and getting rid of the many impurities
which have accumulated. This is the most enervating season
of the entire year; demands r made upon the system which
it can not supply unaided, and the result is a loss of energy

ing season, it is eminently proper that a good blood
remedy be taken to force out all impurities and tone up and
strengthen the system. But great care should be exercised
in selecting the remedy which is to perform this important
work; no one would knowingly and willingly run the risk
of taking a medicine composed of the most injurious and dan
gerous ingredients. This is a matter worth looking into, for
no one wishes to take chances on q harmful remedy. 1t is a
fact worth considering that

Must Pay License.

A number of hack drivers and own
ers and expressmen have complained
against the new messenger service
lately inaugurated by d. G. Camarinos.
The owners of light transportation
rigs represent that the boys on bicycles
are running open opposition in the de-
livery of packages and notes and urge
that Mr. Camarinos should be COM
PEELED to take out a license for each
messenger. Marshal Brown is looking
into the matter and said yesterday that
he rather thought the messenger bust
ness would have to pay toll. Mr. Ca
marinos says the service is not taxed
in any city in the United States and
that he does not see why it should be
singled out and handicapped here, es-
pecially as it is at present only an eX-
pertinent. 1t is a trifle odd that
business which so many people pre-
dicted would be a total failure has al
ready done enough to awaken Oppo
sitiOn of the sort told of here.

officers Reynolds and McVeigh and
several other gentlemen prominently
and actively identified with the admin
istration Of the Health Department of
the Government, are watching with re-
greet the use of the partly reclaimed
section of the city now known as River
street. They point out that no more
unhealthy locality within miles of the
center Of town could be selected for
residence or business purposes. They
say that the land is nothing like what
it should be to be allowed as building
sites and affirm that it will become a
any epidemic The land is low and
wet, and upon the slightest rainfall, is
made muddy and remains in a marshy
condition for long time. Portions of
the tract are said to be nothing more
nor less than sewerage basins. The
buildings recently put up on the new
land are large and each one has in
mates about to the limit of the cubic
air regulations. The houses are used
by Chinese principally, Mr.. Reynolds
has brought the matter to the atten-
tion of the sanitary committee of the
Board of Health and hopes for decisive
action at an early date.
Nearly every resident Of Waikiki
has signed a petition that will go to
the Board of Health today. There is
made a strong protest against the
handling of hog manure in open wag
ons by the Chinese gardeners of Wal
kiki. This article of small commerce
is peddled about in ordinary express
vans, dipped out in coal oil tins and
often stored near the road. The
stencil is something frightful and the
atmosphere is poisoned to the extent
of causing sickness.
Other pronounced nuisances to
which the attention of the board and
the Attorney-General are called are
stagnant duck ponds, a Chinese poi
shop near Long Branch, numerous
shanties without any sanitary convent
ences, hog pens lately placed by Japan

places in state Of nudity
