The popular view of the relation
of the blood to human character and
conduct is marked in many familiar
expression. We speak of there being
''bad blood" between people at en-
nifty, of "blue blood ms indicating
ancestry, of ''black blood" as describ-
ing a treacherous nature, and in many
another phrase mark our belief that in
the mental, moral and physical man,
''the blood is the life" The one basis
of a healthfnl, happy and useful life is
pure blood. With the blood pure,
disease has no permanent lodging
place in the System. For this reason
the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery rids the body of dis
eases which have their origin in i'm
purity of the blood. 1t absolutely
purifies the blood, carrying off the
waste and poisonous matter, increas-
ing the action of the blood making
glands, and building up the body by
supplying the blood in quantity and
quality such as is essential to con
dition OF health. 1t cures ninety eight
people out of every hundred who give
it fair trial.

AS there has been much talk on the
subject, it is only proper to state that
the Common Council Committee hav-
ing the matter in charge has met and
decided that there is no reason why
the Aetna Dramatic Climb, being COM
posed of gentlemen and ladies who
take all sanitary precautions, should
mot give their advertised performance
at Holcombe Hall on next Saturday
evening. But as the Committee, by
request of the Board of Health, has
prohibited all travelling companies
from visiting the town, all who enjoy
first-class comic drama, should take
advantage of the opportunity afforded
on the 25th, as no play of any kind,
much less; one of this character, will
be seen in Lambertville for long
time.
