the increasing breadth Of knowledge.
When the blood is "bad " or impure 1t
is not alone the body which suffers
through disease. The brain is also
clouded, the mind and Judgement are
effected, and many an evil deed or impure
thought may be directly traced to the
impurity OF the blood. Foul, impure blood
can be made pure by the use Of DIR.

Poets Themes.

The cynlcs of our time have white
washed many of the vices. Poets like
the earlier Swinburne practically
praised lust as an expression of the
love of life, Mr., Rudyard Kipling
practically praised cruelty as an ex-

like Mr.. Henley and Mr.. John David
