For great many years 1t has been
the custom for sick people to say: my
blood is out of order 1t needs purify
ing. l feel all used up. My skin needs
clearing. My brain feels tired"
They are right, but do they act right?
They generally go and get laxative
(bowel cleaner) to purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
Science has to-day furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood
needs, in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by your kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys every three min
utes.
The kidneys strain or filter out theim-
purities of the blood-that is theirwork.
Purifying your blood is not ques-
ton of taking laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are already
in your blood, causing your present
sickness ii kdres there.
There is no other way Of purifying
your blood except by means of your kid
neys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.

what you think the name of your dis

BR1GADIER's ISLAND CLANS.
The Famoux Breed Nearly Extcrs
minated by the Cold weather
of February.

The famous breed of fat CLANS which
dwell in the sandy flats on the east ana
south shores of Brigadier's island, was
nearly exterminated by anchor ice DUR
ing the cold snap in February. When
]. Montgomery Sears, of Boston, the
owner of the island, was informed OF
the fact he engaged an expert in clam
culture and sent him to the island with
orders to restock the flats at any price.
Brigadier island has been owned by
the Sears family since 1742, when Da-
yid Sears received it as a reward for
services rendered to the British coll
onies prior to the great war which
drove France from the new world.
Sears asked for the island because he
knew it produced the biggest and
sweetest clans that could be found on
the Atlantic coast. Every year since
the grant was made so barrels of the
latest clans that grew on the island
have been sent to Boston as tribute.
Almost every distinguished man who
has lived in America for the past $50
years has had barrel of clans from
Brigadier's island. The records show
that George Washington had ten bar
rels while he was president and two
supplementary barrels after his re-
tirement to Mount Vernon.
John Adams seems to have been a
great favorite with the Sears family
of his day. He was president only four
years, yet in that time they gave him
30 barrels of clans. For some reason
Jefferson got only three barrels during
his eight years of Office. Madison and
Monroe had eight barrels each. jack
son had four barrels, but John Quincy
Adams received 81 barrels while he
was president and seemed to like them,
because he sent several letters of
thanks. After Taylor was elected pres
ident the clam tribute to the white
house came at the rate of barrel a
year, the goods reaching Washington
during lent. Last week barrel was
sent to President Mckinley, the third
he has received since he was inaugu-
rated.
The blizzard which visited Maine in
the middle of February coated the
clam flats six inches deep in anchor ice,
soldering up the pores in the sand
and smothering all the she'll fish. When
the anchor ice thawed more than 2.CC0
barrels of dead clans were lying upon
the fats, which were haunted by crows
and sea birds for days. The poultry
keepers of Searsport and Stockton
hauled away more than 1000 barrels Of
clam shells and ground them for feed.
The average output of clans from
Brigadier's island flats has been from
1000 to 100 barrels year. Five or
six years must elapse before the beds
can, be restocked.-N. Y. Sun.
