THE BLOOD.

The blood is life. We derive from
the blood life, power, beauty, and rea-
son, as the doctors have been saying
from time immemorial. A healthy
body, fresh appearance, and generally
all the abilities We possess depend on
that source of life. It is therefore the
duty of every sensible man to keep the
blood as pure and normal as possible.
Nature, in its infinite wisdom. has
given Us thermometer indicating 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, head
ache, ringing noises in the ears, lassi-
tude, sleeplessness, are generally sign
that the blood is not in its normal
state, but is filled with noxious sub
stances. These symptoms deserve our
full attention. If more attention were
paid to those symptoms, and steps taken
to remove them, then many illnesses
from which We suffer would become un-
known, and the human body would be-
come stronger and healthier. Atten.
tion therefor should be paid to those
warning signs, and the blood can be
purified and poisonous substances re.
moved from it by the use of DR.. August
Koenig's Hamburg Drops. discovered
more than so years ago.

less endeavor to have an idol cremated
which had cast an evil spell over him.
The heathen idol had come to him as
part of legacy from his grandfather,
to whom 1t had been presented by
Maori chief. Said it's owner: Il have
travelled 10000 miles with the image,
and it has brought disaster after disas-
ter upon me. I have often endeavor-
ed to destroy 1t, but without avail
81 once threw it under a train, and,
in running to get out of the way, fell
and broke one of my fingers. Then

of passengers. When in London three
months ago threw it into the Thames,
and a drunken sailor who fshed 1t out
brought it back to my rooms, and In
his rage at not receiving reward al
most beat me to death.
while In San Francisco I tried to
chop 1t to pieces with an ak, when the
ak, rebounding, struck me on the fore
head with almost fatal effect. The
wood is SO hard that an ordinary fire
will not destroy 1t, and I am afraid to
get rid of 1t otherwise because of the
evil results"
The image was crude figure in rose
wood and ebony, and about two feet
long. Failing to get it cremated in st.
Louis, its owner started for New York,
where he was determined to have 1t
destroyed at whatever cost.

United States army, Sixty-sixth Coast
Artillery. This victim killed himself
at the barracks at Camp Mckinley,
but few days before doing so he real
lied the evil influence of the violin and
buried it as above stated.

Under date OF January 10, 1897, DR..
Hartman received the following letter !:
"My wife had been suffering from q
complication of diseases for the past 25
years.
"Her case had baff1ed the skill of
some of the most noted physicians.
One of her worst troubles was chronic
constipation of several years standing.
"She also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of a
woman-change of life. In June,
1895, wrote to you about her case.
You advised course of Peruna and
Manalin, which we at once commenced,
and have to say it completely cured
her. She firmly believes that she
would have been dead cnIy for those
wonderful remedies.
"About the same time / wrote you
about my own case of catarrh, which
hsd been of 25 years. standing. At
times l was almost past going. l COM
menced to use Peruna according to your
instructions and continued it's use for
about year, and it has completely
cured me.
"Your remedies do all that you claim
for them, and even more. Catarrh
cannot exist where Peruna is taken
according to directions. Success to
you and your remedies"

MOTTO FOR NEW YEAR.
Eat Whatever You Want, But Be Sur
and Have Good Teeth.

Eat Whatever You Want, But Be Sure
and Have Good Teeth.
Now that the holiday spirit is preva-
lent everywhere it is good time to be
a little selfish and think what would
be the best present to give to oneself.
Why isn't good set of teeth one Of
the best things you can have in this
life?
Wise Bros, the famous dentists IL
the Failing building, Portland, Oregon,
have had large run of business during
these holidays, probably somewhat in
consequence of the peoples special de-
sire just now to make themselves sensi-
BILE presents.
Why don't you 60 to this firm before
the new year and have your teeth look
ed after?
When you come to think OF it, there
is nothing we want more than "a sound
set of teeth. Our health and all our
happiness depend much upon what We
eat. If we cannot masticate our food
properly we are restricted to only few
eatables, and even in their case We can
not properly chew and digest our food.
Not long ago the Tear of pain the and
great expense of dental work kept near
ly all the ma sses away from dentists.
Now it is all different. There is posi-
lively no pain when such dentists as
Wise Brothers do your work. Wise
Brothers charges, also, are in reality
very moderate. If your teeth are ap-
parently in good order the best way is
to 60 and have them looked over go as
to be sure that they are all right and
in sound condition. If your teeth are
decayed, then the best way is not to
lose any more time but 90 Immediately
and have the bad teeth taken out.
Even if you have to get an entire new
set the expense will be trifling in COM
parison with the great and lasting bene-
fits you will derive from having set of
teeth that look for all the world like
the natural ones, and which will serve
you in every respect nearly as we'll as
your own that grew in your mouth.
The popularity of this great dental
firm, Wise Brothers, whose signal sue
cess we have from time to time noted
in these columns, is much to be desired.
They have proved to everybody that We
need not suffer any longer with bad
teeth and poor food. We can all eat
what is good for US, and we all can
afford to have the best teeth in the
world.
Extracting teeth without pain was q
short time ago myth. Now it is q
grand reality.

Who is there who dares to say that
