BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are knCwn
by various names, but are all due TO the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations OF
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
dishguring pimples.
Ef0rnaE vigilance Is the price
of a beautiful complexion
when such remedies are relied on.

parents to the United States six years
later. AS a caricaturist and cartoon
list he became famous.
Thomas Mast may be said to have
been the original newspaper cartoon
ist, and it was to his talent that car
toons in the daily press owe their
earliest development. Among the
we'll known caricatures and types
used in political cartoons Mr. Mast
created many. The Tweed money
bag, the republican party elephant,
and the democratic jackass originated
with him. The line of work since de-
veloped and improved by some was
entirely of his own creation.

According to an Indian legend, the
buzzard used to have fine topknot, of
which he was so proud that he refused
to eat carrion, and while the other
birds were pecking at the body Of
deer or other animal which they had
found he would strut around and say:
"You may have it all; it is not good
enough for me-" They resolved to
punish him, and with the help Of the
buffalo carried out plot by which the
buzzard lost not his topknot alone, but
yearly all the other feathers on his
head. He lost his pride at the same
time.
