What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health
and Disease

The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
daily dose of sulphur and molasses ev-
cry spring and fall.
It 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, bat the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and large
quantity had to be taken to get any ief-
feet.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef-
feets of sulphur in a paiatable, concen-
trated FORM so that a single grain is far
more effective than a tablespoonful OF
the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and expert
mert have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold in
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Calcium Waters. They are small ehoco-
late coated pellets and contain the active
medicinal principle of sulphur in high
ly concentrated effective form.
Few people are aware of the value of
this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health; sui
phur acts directly on the liver and ex-
cretory organs and purifies and enriches
the blood by the prompt elimination of
waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall but the crudity
and impurity of ordinary flowers of
sulphur were often worse than the dis
ease and cannot compare with the mod
ern concentrated preparations of sulphur,
of which Stuarts Calcium Waters is
undoubtedly the best and most widely
used.
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipa-
tion and purify the blood in way that
often surprises patient and physician
alike.
DIR. r. M. Wilkins. while experimenting
with sulphur remedies, soon found that
the sulphur from Calcium was superior
to any other form. He says: For
liver, kidney and blood troubles, especi-
ally when resulting from constipation or
malaria, have been surprised at the
results obtained from Stuarts Calcium
WATERS. In patients suffering from boils
and pimples and even deep-seated car
buncles, have repeatedly seen them dry
up and disappear in four or five days,
leaving the skin clear and smooth. AL
though Stuart's Calcium Waters is a
proprietary article and sold by druggists,
and for that reason tabooed by many
physicians, yet know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and
kidney troubles and especially in all
forms of skin diseases as this remedy"
At any rate people who are tired of
pills. cathartics and so-called blood spur
ihers," will find In Stuarts Calcium
Waters a far safer, more palatable ana
effective preparation.
