What Sulphur Does
For The Human Body In Health and Disease

The mention Of sulphur will recall ia
many OF US the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave US our
daily dose OF sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and fall

mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
crude and unpalatahle. and a large guam
tity had to be taken to get any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial eff
fects Of sulphur IN a palatable, ,concen-
trated form, so that a single grain Is far
more effective than a tablespoonful OF
the crude sulphur. n
In recent years, research and expert
ment 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 -StIla ri q
Calcium Waters. They are small choco-
late 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: sui
tory organs. sand purlfies and enriche the
blood by the prompt elimination Of waste
material.

spring and fall, but the crldity and i'm

When first taken out, they cannot swim,
and sit, perhaps two or three of them, de-
murely on the mothers back, while she paddles
along out from land, often swimming several
miles. The babies are then coaxed into the
water by many devices, the mother otter
sinking under them, rolling over, and push
ing them off, endeavoring in every way to
give them as much instruction as possible.
After these preliminary lessons, her actions
are curious in the extreme and no lower
animal so approaches the human mother in
herr movements with her young. Now they
are held tenderly in her arms, or balanced
over her head perhaps sitting on it as she
swims along.
Again she turns upon her back, and grasp
ing the little creature in her claws or arms,
tosses it a foot or more into the air, catching
it deftlv exactly as would human mother
Then, seizing another, perhaps, and holding
it up as some large breaker comes rolling in,
all the time lying on her back, head to the
waves, and forming a veritable boat for her
babies.
On this floating mother they gambol and
play like kittens. Such games as hide-and-
seek Such leaping and dodging! Now tum-
bling over with a splash; now diving under
their mother and scrambling up her furry sides
in most undignihed manner; but all to her
evident delight.
For hours the otter mother and babies have
been observed at their pranks, and often
are they rudely interrupted by the rifle of the
hunter.
Equally as cunning and attractive are the
baby seals. Many of these of our Northern
waters are perfectly white during babyhood.
and when held in the arms of the mother lust
above the surface, the contrast is very strik-
ing.

out of sight appearing from a distance as IL
it was floating down the stream, and by some
mysterious agency supported or walking upon
the water.
Among the birds, the young of those that
live in the water take early to their native
element, and we often see swans and geese
swimming about with their babies upon their
backs, evidently enjoying the ride.
AS many birds hatch their young on mac
cessble cliffs, 1t is often wondered how the
baby birds reach the water below. Some are
undoubtedly pushed of, and take their chances,
often being killed in the descent; but others,
as the razor-billed aux, according to Crouch,
the English naturalist, take their young upon
their backs and carry them through the air
to the water below.
Many of the water birds at first have to be
taught to swim, and during the lessons the
actions of parent and young are often very
amusing.
Baby alligators and crocodiles, as soon as
hatehed, are taken by the mother to some out
of-the-way pond, where by degrees they are
introduced to the water that is to be their
future home, and when several weeks old
they are often seen riding upon the back of
the mother, her rough hide frequently being
completely hidden by them.
The instinct of young turtles, Immediately
upon being hatched is remarkable.
A naturalist, during a residence near Cuba,
placed several newly-hatched loggerhead tur-
ties in room, one end of which faced the
water, the door leading into an aquarium.
The little creatures were hardly larger than a
trade dollar, and comical limitations of their
clumsy mother; but no matter in which di-
rection they were headed, they instructive.
ly turned about and started directly for the
water.
This was the case in every trial, though the
room was darkened and there was not even
a ripple on the outside water to tell Of iti
