have to be physician to understand the
causes of impure blood, or its far-reaching
effects. When a mans digestion is disor-
dered, his liver sluggish his bowels mac
tive, the blood is deprived of the proper
food elements, and the sluggish liver and
bowels supply in their place, the toulest
of poisons. The blood is the lite-streaIp.
When it is full of foul pcisons, 1t carries
and deposits them in every organ ana tbs
sue of the body. Bone, sinew, muscle, and
flesh-tissue, the brain cells and the nerve
fbres are all fed upon bad, poisonous food.
Serious ill-heaith is bound to result The
man is weakened in every fiber of his body.
He is weakened physically, mentally and
morally He suffers from sick headache,
distress in stomach after meals, giddiness
and drowsiness, loss of appetite and sleep,
bad taste in the mouth, shakiness in the
morning, ard dizziness throughout the day,
and lassitude and an indisposition, to work.
Sooner or later these conditions develop
consumption, nervous prostration, malaria,
rheumatism, or some blood or skin disease.

the best of all known medicines for ambi-

1t makes the appetite keen and hearty, and
the digestion and assimilation perfect, the
liver sctive, the blood pure and rich, the
