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

For the k1UkflSAn 11OUX III K1St4AGAk dAAU
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 every spring and fail.
1t was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this old-fashioned
remedy was crude and unpalatable,
and a large quantity had to- be taken
to get any effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than table
spoonful of the crude sulphur,
In recent years research and ex-
pertinent have proven that the best
sulphur for mendicinaI use is that
obtained from Calcium calcium
sulphidey and sold in drug stores
under the name of Stuart's Calcium
Waters. They are small chocolate
coated pellets and contain the active
medicinal principle of sulphur in a
highly concentrated, effective form.
Few 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-
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and
moiasses every spring and fall, but
the crudity and impurity of ordinary
lowers of sulphur were often worse
than the disease, and cannot COM
pare with the modern concentrated
preparations Of sulphur, OF which
Stuart's Calcium Waters is undoubt-
edly the best and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure
constipation and purify the blood in
way that often surprises patient
and physician alike.
DR.. r. M. Wilkins while experiment
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was
superior to any other form. He says:
For liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from con-
stipation or malaria, / have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
5tuart's Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, / have
repeatedly 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 prop
rietary article and sold by druggists
and for that reason tabooed by many
physicians, yet know of nothing
20 safe and reliable for constipation,
liver and kidney troubles and espe-
cally in all forms of skin diseases as
this remedy"
At any rate people who are tired Of
pills, catharticS and so-called blood
purifiers" will find in Stuart's CAL
cium Waters, q far safer, more palat-
able and effective preparation.

Port Byron, n. Y, March H.
Robert Kidney, an eighty-year-old
money lender, was beaten to death
and his log cabin robbed by an un-
known man some time Friday night
or yesterday morning. Cayuga coun-
ty officials and farmers are hunting
for man who wears a No. 3 shoe,
the only clew they have to the identity
of the murderer.
Mr.. Kidney lived alone in cabin
in the woods about six miles from
here. He was known all over the coun-
" as rich miser and hermit, but
he was well liked owing to the easy
terms onW hich he loaned money and
he often declared he feared no harm.
As he had no faith in banks, he was
supposed to keep his money in his hut.

ing from the cabin to the shed. 1t
was evident that Mr.. Kidney had been
called to the door and had been struck
down with an axe. The skull was
crushed and he had died where he
fell.
The murderer had stepped over the
body and ransacked the house, tearing
up the floor and digging into the
cracks in the walls. Tracks leading
from the cabin into the woods showed
the direction he had taken In his flight.
Along these tracks gold and silver
coins were picked up by searchers,
and two heavy money bags dropped
by the murderer were found. All
trace of the man was lost about two
miles from the cabin
Inside the cabin officials discovered
two bags similar to those picked up
in the woods. They were filled with
gold coin to the amount of $500.
Hundreds of dollars in bills were also
found in an old chest. 1t is believed
the murderer must have obtained sew
eral thousand dollars.
So far as known Mr. Kidney had no
relatives.
