HumiIiating Blood Diseases.

Humlliafng blood diseases can be cured.
This Is nota theory, IL is a fact. Cures are
being made every day, though they are not
made in a day. The reason why so many
suffer without hope is because they have
been so often induced to try impossible REM
edies. The man who says that blood dis
ease can be cured by local application or
operation Is "A fraud There Is but one way !:
the blood must be purified. When that is
done the disease disappears. The best puri-

REFORM IN
CHINESE EMPIRE.
Edict Issued by Dowager
Empress.

Pekin, Jan IAN imperial edict,
issued last Friday, remarks that
"China is passing through severe
crisis in her history" 1t reminds
viceroys and governors of the mum
erous ed;cts that have been issued
lately ordering administrative re-
forms, points out that many of these
have not been observed and COM
mapds immediate institution of re-
forms in the methods of training
troops, in agriculture, in manufacture,
aud in everything likely to conduce
to the prosperity OF the empire.
It directs the viceroys and gov
ernors to memorialize the throne
within a month that these reforms
have been inaugurated
The edict is highly significant as
showing that the empress dowager
realizes that the situation is serious
aud that all hope of the country e
future lies in reform.
A deadlock has resulted from a
demand By the Russian authorities
for the surrender of certain British
property which the Chinese govern
ment has awarded as part of the
Russian concession at Han Kau
The British refuse to surrender the
property.
