Keep your blood clean as you keep your
body clean. You don't wait until your
body is foul before you cleanse it.
1t IS matter of surprise that many peo-
pie who are so careful to have clean bodies
make no effort to keep the blood clean
Everyone knows that uncleanness breeds
disease that those who do not keep their
bodies i'll wholesome condition and who
dwell in filthy surroundings are the first to
fall when some epidemic of disease sweeps
the country. But foul blood is more dan
gerous to the individual than a foul BODY.
An unclean body is rather a passive than
an active hlndrance to health. But unclean
blood is an active threat against the very
lte-lt makes the body a prepared breed
ing place for disease.
1t is part of Natures plan for human
safety that in many cases where the blood
IS impure or corrupt she sets sign on the
body IN proof of the corrupt current that is
flowing through the veins. Scrofula with
its dlshguring sores and scars, eczema with
It's irritation, salt-rheum, tetter, erysipelas,
bolls, pimples and other eruptions are only
the outward signs of the impurity of the
blood But often in the earlier or simpler
stages of the blood's impurity there are no
outward signs of this condition; only dull,
languid, sluggish feelings, which are com
monty attributed solely to the sluggishness
of the liver.
OF all preparations for purifying the
blood Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry easily takes the first place It elimin-
ates from the blood the elements which
clog and corrupt it, and which breed and
feed disease. It acts directly on the blood
making glands, increasing their activity,
and SO increasing the supply of rich, pure
blood which is the life of the BODY.

as good for diseases of the stomach,

BourIxe COckran's Remarks Com
demned by Democratic Party Organ.
[From the Brooklyn Eagle, Sept 19.l
The Eagle published Bourke Cock
rams speech in full on Sunday That
much was due to news. The Eagle
gave td the speech not only full publ
cation, out prominent placement. That
was due to the magnitude of the meet
ing. The Eagle made no comment up
on the speech when it published it, but
cannot withhold candid comment from
it today with justice to it's readers or
to itself
AS much of the speech as condemned
the conduct of the governor of COlora-
do against mobs which claimed to act
as labor organizations should not have
been delivered and should be pOintedly
condemned by every law abiding
newspaper. The mObS were made up
of murdererS, manners, terrOriZers and
outlaws. AS many as twenty-One muir
derS and twice as many maimings
were scored against them. Arson and
terrorism further decorated the con-
duct of these organized" outlaws.
They threw down law. They sacrificed
life. They wounded whom they could
not kill, and they followed such per
fOrmances, cOnSenial to them, with dy-
Mantle and the torch. What they did
was infamous. The condition which
they brought about was intolerable
tiles, on government, ON order, on prop
erty and on life.
What was done against them by the
state government of Colorado, either in
its judicial or i'll its military capacity,
was rightly done, bravely done, 'lauda
bly, done, sternly done, admirably we'll
done. We hope that the doing of it
will be approved by the people of Colo
RADIO. 1t will be approved by them if
they love liberty, respect human and
natural rights and deserve to enjoy
those rights. 1t will be approved if the
punishment of murderers is to be pre-
ferred to murder as an industry and if
the YindicatiOn of law is to be pre-
ferred to the coronation of systema-
tiZed crime.
1t should be incredible that even
BOurKe Cochran shodld attack the ac-
ton and misrepresent the record of the
governor and government of Colorado
in this matter. But, being not incredi-
bic, because he did so his cOndemna-
ton of it should itself be condemned,
and the injury which without rebuko
Of him would ensue to those whom
he professed to advocate should be re
paired as far as it can be, as explicitly
as earnestly and as soon as possible.
From much that Bourke Cochran
said about free trade and a glorifica-
tiOn of boycOtts from much that he
said on collateral subjects, the Eagle
differs, but those are matters of mere
opinion, however unwiSe, premature or
overdOgmatic BOurke Cockran's opin-
ions on them may be. They can be let
pass. The things which we have dc
tailed and denounced were immoral, in
cendiary and scandalous. We can
imagine nothing more hurtful than
those things to the cause which Bourke
Cochran would or would affect to IA
vor. AS that cause is sincerely sup
ported by the Eagle, this paper feels
bound to note and to denOunce the in
jury to that cause which BOurke Cock
ran, Willingly or unwittingly, has
sought to infiict upon it. His was q
speech, in the respects set forth, unfit
to be made.
