What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY

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 mo-
lasses every spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier" tonic and cure-all,
and, mind you, this old-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit.
The idea was good but the 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 single grain
is far more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and expert
ence have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtained
from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and
sold in drug stores under the name Of
Stuarts Calcium Waters. They are
small chocolate coated pellets and COLI
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in highly concentrated, eff
fective form.
Few people are aware of the value
of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily yigor and
health; sulphur acts directly on the
liver and excretory 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 mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary flow
ers OF sulphur were often worse than
the disease, and cannot compare with
the modern 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 con-
stipation and purify the blood in a
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 su-
perior to any other form. He says:
For liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from consti-
patton or malaria, have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
Stuartis Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated earbuncles, l have
repeatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear IN four or five days leaving
the skin clear and smooth. Although
Stuarts Calcium Waters Is a proprie-
tary article and sold by druggists and
for that reason tabooed by many ply
sicians, 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-ealled blood
purifiers" VIII find Ia Stuarts Cal
cium Waters far safer, more palat-
able and effective preparation.

NEW YORK CONFIRMS
RUM0RS OF CONFERENCE
between THE MAGNATES

A special dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Call from New York says
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-NegOtiations
arc under way here between ii. e. Hunt
ington and Il. II. Hartman for one of
the greatest trolley consultations in
the country. III the merger goes through
as plnnned ii Will involve four import
ant Southern California systems center
ing In Los AngeIes-the Pacific Electric,
the Los Angeles Interurban, the Los An
geIes Pacific and the Los Angeles and
RedOndO.
Call Reviews Situation
To this the Call adds editorially:
The Los Angeles-Pacific is controlled
by Hartman, who plans immense inn
proVements, II Is reported here, includ-
ing a great subway In Los Angeles,
broad gauging and long extensions;
the Pacific Electric Is owned half and
half by the two magnates, and the other
two lines named are owned principally
by Huntington.
The price at which the Southern Pa
cifc magnate holds the Los Angeles
Pacific railway IN the proposed consol-
idation is said TO be the only stumbling
block thus far encountered. II is
claimed the figure is SlO,OOQ.O00, and
Huntington declares that he could build
ii standard gauge for S6,000,0O0.
Reports from Los Angeles show that
numerous proposed railway improve
ments have been held up there for some
weeks. and It is apparent that this Is
due 10 the pending negotiations.
1t was announced two months ago
that the Los Angeles Pacific would be
standardized at once, and an immense
quantity Of material was ordered and

cal concerns the question of right and
wrong you not only render the state
the helpless prey of political vandal-
ism, but you SOW the seeds of a decay
that will finally sap the foundations
of the commonwealth.
Waving for the moment the ethical
and moral questions that confront u.s.
let us look into the material issues
that we squarely face.
Railroad Convention
"The Santa Cruz convention was alb
solutely controlled by railroad boss.
I'm my speeches through the state
l have denounced two men in Califor-
mia and will continue to denounce
them until the polls close have de-
nounced Herrin because when he
wants men he buys them. When
Hartman wants rails for his great
Southern Pacific, he buys them; when
! he wants ties, he buys them, when he
wants men, he buys them, and Her.
rim is his agent in this purchase.
have denounced Hearst because he also
buys men and when the sack won't
work he uses the sandbag.
The fitness of candidates, even for
high places in the judiciary, received
no considera ton, and office after Office
was put upon the block and auctioned
off to the highest bidder with the sole
end in view of nominating governor
satisfactory to the Southern Pacific
interests in California. (Applause).
mo thought was given to the real
choice of the people, and the conven-
tion degraded itself into a mere instru-
ment for carrying out a corrupt,
shameless and conscienceless railroad
program.
mo one dreams that Boss Herrin
was moved by patriotism or loyalty
to California when he dubbed delegate
after delegate into the support of his
slate.
None will deny that he was impelled
by purely selfish motives.
His one ambition was, and is, to
render the administration Of our state
servile to his domination and control
THE interests which he represents
are inimical to the best interests of
California, for his sordid ambition is
to perpetuate railroad monopoly as
against the whole world.
Il went to the convention at Sacra-
mento as a spectator. was not even
delegate. / opened no headquarters,
spent not one cent, l spoke not
syllable for my unanimous nomina-
tion as the party's choice for govern
or. | owe my nomination to no man,
and l will owe my election only to
the people of this state" (Enthusias-
tic cheering).
