places becoming cancerous if not
treated promptly and in the right
way. Washes, salves and ointments
are good for external use, but they

the condition of the blood, and for
this reason the sore never heals per-
manently.
Not until the blood is purged of
impurities and the system cleanSed
of all harmful substances should the
ulcer heal, or the effect upon the syS-
tenn might prove disastrous. S. S. S.

out and removes the cause of the
old sore and invigorates and builds
up the polluted, sluggish blood

is driven from the system the sore

1 meet with a reference to ''the Creole
case" something in history prior to the
civil war; can you explain?-T. w. III.
1t was an incident of slavery days that
brought about disagreement between this
country and England and a spirited debate
in Congress. The American brig Creole
with over hundred slaves aboard, was
coasting between Chesapeake bay and New
Orleans. A score OF the slaves overcame
the crew, killed the captain, and brought
the brig to Nassau. Here all the slaves
who had not participated in the revolt were
at once freed by the British authorities.
The secretary of state, Daniel Webster, de-
manded their return, but the British gov
eminent never complied. In the House
Joshua r. Giddings offered resolutions to
the effect that slavery could exist only by
law of the separate States, that the ma
tional government had sole control on the
high seas, hence that slaves on the high
seas were free, and that coastwise slave
trade was unconstitutional. In the turmoil
that followed he got a vote of censure and
resigned. but was handsomely reelected.
