The blood is life We derive from the

the doctors have been saying from time

pearance, and generally all the abilities
Wc possess depend on that source of life
1t is therefore the duty Of every sensible
man to keep the blood rs pure and nor
NAL as possible. Nature. in it's infinite
wisdom, has given us thermometer in
dicating the state of the blood. which
appeals to our reason by giving notice of
its impurity. Small eruptions Of the skin.
to which we scarcely pay any attention,
headache, ringing noises in the ears, lassi-
tude, sleeplessncss, are generally a sign
that the blood is not in it's normal state,
but is filled with noxious substances.
These symptoms deserve our full atten-
ton. If more attention were paid to
those symptoms, and steps taken to re-
move them. then many illnesses from
which we suffer would become unknown,
and the human body would become
stronger and healthier. Attention there
fore should be paid to those warning
signs. and the blood can be purified and
poisonous substances removed from it by
the use of DR.. August Koenig's Hamburg
Drops, discovered more than sixty years
ago.

Ararat.

Mount Ararat, on which sight noun
tainccrs have just had narrow escape
from death, attracted the attention of
explorers at an early date. Sir John
Mandeviilc estimated that it was seven
miles high. Tournefort, the French
botanist attempted the ascent early in
the Eighteenth century, failed, and de-
scribed the mountain as lone of the most
dismal and disagreeable sights on the
face Of the EARTH" A little later Per-
sian Shah offered large reward to any
claimed it. Ultimately, the first ascent
was accomplished by climber who gave
his name to the Parrot Spite of Monte
Rosa. The second ascent was made by
one Sparsky Aflonomof in 1884, and the
third by one Herr Abich, in 1916. The
first English ascent was made by Mr..
Bryce, in 1876, and since that date as
