We do not live on what we eat but
on what we digest, assimilate, and take
up in the blood. The blood in turn
feeds the nerves, the heart, and the
whole system, and all goes well with us
if the blood be kept pure and rich. II
not, then the liver, which is the human
filter within us, gets clogged up and
poisons accumulate in the body from
over-eating, overwhelming, or hurriedly
doing both. The smash up occurs
when the blood is poisoned by the
stomach and liver being unable to take
care of the OVERLOAD! The red flag of
danger is thrown out in the shape of
eruptions ON the skin, or in nervous
ness and sleeplessness, the sufferer be-

obey them, but disease follows dis
obedience. Go straight to Nature for

THE AMERICAN BISON.
Millions Of Bunaloes Once Ranged |
the Western Plains.

Millions Of Bunaloes Once Ranged
the Western Plains.
The early explorers who describe the
buffalo numbers do not give US any
thing more exact than superlative e1-
pressions, such as countless herds,'
incredible numbers ''teeming myr-
lads" 'the world one robe" ETC. I
have endeavored to get at more ex-
act idea Of their numbers.
The total area inhabited by the buf.
falo was about 1900 600 square miles.
Of this the open plains were one-half.
According to the figures supplied me
by A. F. Potter of the forest service,
the ranges of the Dakotas, Montana,
Wyoming, Nebraska. Kansas, Colora-
do, Texas and Oklahoma "a total Of
about 100000 square miles. or half of
the plains were, according to the cen
sus of 1900, carrying 24.000,o00 head
of cattle and horses and about 6,0OO,-
| 900 head of sheep. This means that
| when fully stocked they might sustain
(: number of buffalo at least equal to
| the number of cattle and horses. The
/ buffalo had to divide their heritage
with numerous herds of mustang. an
| telope and wapiti. On the other hand,
/ buffalo could find living where a
| range animal would starve, many Of
the richest bottom lands are now fenc-
ed in, and we have taken no account
Of the 100000 sheep. Therefore we
are safe in placing at 100000 the
buffalo formerly living on the entire
plains area.
Their prairie range was third as
large, but it was vastly more fertile
indeed, the stockmen reckon one prai-
RE acre equal to four acres on the
/ plains. Doubtless, therefore, the prai-
ries sustained nearly as many head as
the plains. We may safely set their
population at 100000. The forest
region was the lowest in the rate of
popula ton. For its 100000 square
miles we should not allow more than
100000 buffalo. These figures would
make the primitive number of buffalo
/ 100000
Many other calculations based or
different data give similar or slightly
lower totals. From these facts it viii
appear very safe to put the primitive
buffalo population at 10000 600 to 60,
