THE SESSION OF CONGRESS

"The fall of the gavel Thurs

session of Congress in half CEN

unprecedented. 1t makes an un-

The close leaves no regrets.

1.-THE modern professional man is the

doctor spend their leisure hours inn
proving and perfecting themselves in
their vocation so that their circle OF
clients or patients may be widened--

WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.

Inc mention Of sulphur will recall
10 many of us the early DAYS when
our mothers and grandmothers gave
us our daily dose Of sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall.
II was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all
and mind you. this old-fashioned
remedy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable. and a
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
enects OF sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form, so that a single grain
IS far more effective than a tablespoon
full of the crude sulphur.
IN recent years, research and expert
nent nave proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtain
ca from Calcium Calcium Sulphide)
ana sold in drug stores under the
name of Stuart's Calcium Waters.
They are small chocolate coated pellets
and contain the active medicinal prin-
slple OF sulphur in a highly concen-
trated, effective form.
rev people are aware of the value
of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
health: sulphur acts directly on the
liver, and eXcretory organs and puri-
mes and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur were often worse than
the disease, and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
of sulphur, of which Stuarts Cal
cium Waters is undoubtedly the best
and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure con-
stipation and purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
DR.. r. NJ. Wilkins while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was
superior to any other form. He saws:
For liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from con-
sttpation or malaria, ] have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles. have re-
peatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear in four or five days, leaving
the skin clear and smooth. Although
Stuart's Calcium Waters is a pro
prietary article, and sold by druggists.
and for that reason tabooed by many
physicians, yet 1 know of nothing so
safe and reliable for constipation, liver
and kidney troubles and especially in
all forms of skin disease as this rem
edy."
At any rate people who are tired Of
pills, cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers, will find in Stuarts CAL
cium Waters, far safer, more pala-
table and effective preparation.
