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.
1t was the universal spring and fall
''blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
mot without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a large
quantity had to be taken to get any ef
feet.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial eff
fects of sulphur in a palatable concen-
trated form, so that single grain is far
more effective than a tablespoonful of
the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and expert
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Sulphde) and sold in
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Calcium WATERS They are small choco-
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 erandmothers 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 Stuart's Calcium Waters Is
undoubtedly the best and most widely
used.
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipa-
ton and purify the blood in way that
often surprises patient and physician
alike.
DIR. R. NJ wilkins, while experimenting
with sulphur remedies, soon found that
the sulphur from Calcium was superior
70 any other form. He says: For
liver, kidney and blood troubles, especi-
ally when resulting from constipation or
malaria, I have been surprised at the
results obtained from Stuart's Calcium
WATERS. In patients suffering from boils
and pimples and even deep-seated car
buncles. 1 have repeatedly seen them dry
IN and disappear in four or five days,
leaving the skin clear and smooth. AL
though Stuarts Calcium Waters is
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 ''pur-
ifers," will find in Stuarts Calcium
Waters far safer more palatabe and
effective preparation

Fresno Man Arrested

T. L. Trimble Of Fresno was arrested
yesterday morning on the complaint of
Thomas Richards, a cigar dealer of
South Spring street, on the charge OF
disturbing the peace. Richards al

ago with a letter of Introduction. He
says that since that time Trimble be-

into. When they regain confidence the
battle is won.
Then / visit them at their homes
and keep them cheerful and confident.
Lots of good men are not treated right
at home; L try to show the wife how
she can make it more attractive. Let
the good man have his smoke, 1 say
a cigar never hurt any man-get his
slippers out when he comes in tired,
give him his paper and make things
agreeable for him. No man will want
to spend his time in saloons when he
has happy home to go to and stay in"
Then you don't believe you can stop
the drink evil by shutting up the
places where liquor is sold?"
Close Own Saloons
Not at all; men will get liquor If
they want it, no matter what laws you
make; if they don't want 1t, there will
be no saloons. If, as 1 have often said,
we close the saloons in our own faces
betwiXt our noses and our chins, there
will be no other ones open anywhere.
You can't make people temperate by
closing the saloons. 1t is a failure"
"Then. you are not prohibitionist?"
mo, sir; am not"
The good right fist was brought
down on the table with whack, and
the beetling brows scowled hercely.
"The prohibitionists are in it for poll
tics" he declared, vehemently. They
have hurt the cause. When you mix
doesn't suffer. The fellows who are
working in the Prohibitionist party are
after the offices, that's all"
"And the w. c. T. U.?"
"And the w. C. T. U.," Mr.. Murphy
repeated. "Now-but here, 1 don't
want to say anything against the w.
C. T. u. However"-and his eyes gilt
tered-"when those women got into
politics they killed their organization.
Mistake of w. c. T. U.
"Since it went into politics. the w.
c. T. U. never converted a single
drunkard. Not one. 1t got after the
offices, and not the drunkards, and
there's where it made it's great mis-
take.
THAT isn't the way to remedy these
conditions" he continued, after pause.
"That isn't tho way Christ did it. We
must get the spirit of Christ in our
lives, and live them as He did; we
must not hold ourselves aloof, but
must go out among these people, meet
them face to face and bring them to
realiza ton of our friendliness and good
will toward them. That is the keynote
of temperance work. All the laws in
the world won't keep any man from go
ing to hell, if he wants to-"
but if he does want to-"
"Then let him go!'' was the sharp re-
ply. "If man wants to drown, you
nor 1 nor regiment could keep him
from it; he will drown. 1t is our duty
to do all that we can; to throw him life
preservers and go to his aid. But If he
vii, drown, what are you to do about 1t?
80 it is with drunkard if he has
determined to slay himself with liquor,
how can you prevent him? 1t is our
duty to argue with him and to try to
reach his latent manhood; to make him
see what a path he is walking, and
help him climb the heights But If he

Best Tonic He Ever Prescribed

James Crozier M. D., formerly U. s.
Pension Office Medical Examiner, for
merly on the Medical Board of Referees.
U. s. Pension Office. in a recent letter
from Washington, D. c., writes:
II have often prescribed Peruna in my
practice for catarrhal trouble, and after
giving it fair test 1 can cheerfully rec
ommend your valuable remedy for
coughs, colds and catarrh in its worst
stages.
at is one of the best tonlcs have
ever prescribed"
Peruna has proven it's merits thorough
ly and overcome all prejudice.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-24
A Notable Exception


They prefer to use the medicines which
they prescribe.
Now and then. however, medicine
becomes SO popular that the people
whom it cures are so numerous and man
ifest that the physicians do not hesitate
to make public endorsement of 1t. and
use 1t in their practice.
Such has been the case with Peruna.
Recognized by Physicians
For many years the physicians op-
posed it.
After a while, occasionally one here
and there felt constrained to use 1t.
There are still many physicians who
are opposed to Peruna, but the number
of physicians who endorse Peruna, and
who make daily use of 1t In their prac-
tice is rapidly increasing.
Many Endorsements
We append a few letters received from
such physicians. These are fair speci-
mems of the kind of letters we are re-
ceiving from physicians who have used
Peruna.

MURPHY IS READY
TO RENEW FIGHT
APOSTLE OF TEMPERANCE Is
AGAIN AT WORK
Says Way to Reach Drunkards Is by
Showing Them They Have Frlends.
Objects to w. c. T. U.
In Politics

Let the cohorts Of the Demon Rum
beware. Francis Murphy, their arch
enemy, is we'll and in the saddle again.
A week from today he will rally his
hosts of true temperance in Blanchard
hall and give battle to the Demon and
all his allies.
And let not John Barleycorn think
lightly of this, either. For though
Francis Murphy waxeth old in years.
and the SHOWS of many winters have
Nhtened his hair, his eye still flashes
with the keen CLEAN of a lighthouse
and the beetling brows of gray close
down in dangerous fashion when his
ancient enemy is mentioned.
For Francis Murphy has fought this
evil long and well. Once downed by
the drink, he arose high above its
powers and fascinatIons and devoted
the rest of his life to incessant war
fare, hip and thigh, cutlass and can
non, horse, foot and dragoon. Many a
man thanks his God today for the
strong arm of Francis Murphy, on
which he leaned in time of weakness
and trial, and many woman
blesses his presence in her home
for the redeeming work that he has
done there.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-24
Methods All Unorthodox

All unorthodox are the methods of
this rum-fighter. He believes not in
he ways of other so-called "agitators," +"
and he scorns those of the professional
"prohibitionist" Iconoclastic he is in
Eis plans and ways, and even at times
he shocks one who hears his views.
But he accomplishes results-and from
any man that does that, reasons are
bound to have weight.
The Murphy method of saving drunk
ards is to have each one "close the
saloon in his own face, betwixt his
nose and his chin"
There is an inherent spark of right
eousness in every man." said he yester-
day, as he sat in his Roosevelt avenue
home and talked of temperance and Its
many sides. AROUSE that Appeal to
the mans better nature. Show him
that he has friend, brother.
"A man who is down doesn't want
to be told that he is wreck, hopeless
of saving, totally and damnably lost.
That will keep him down surer than
anything else. You arrest drunkard,
and perhaps fine him $25, but what
good does it do? You don't make him
any better, nor any less drunkard.
But If you get down to that mans
heart and reach the spark of the divine
in him then you may arouse him. You
can't reform any man against his own
will. We are all part of the divine
somehow; we have the kingdom cf
heaven within u.s. as Christ said.
What we need to do then is to appeal
to that man as a brother, make him
thus see the error of his ways, let him
feel that he has a friend who knows
and understands his weakness and
prove to him that it isn't all hopeless
