diShgurlng SKIN disease.
These humorS get into the
blood through a deranged or inactive
condition of the system. Those
members whose duty it is to collect
and cxpel the refuse matter of the
body fail TO properly do their work,
and this surplus or waste matter is
left in the system to sour and fer
ment and be absorbed into the
blood. There are also certain
other humorS which get into the
blood from without. The juice or
| milk from poisonous plants, such
as poison oak, poison ivy, nettle
rash, etc, enters through the open
pores Of the skin and takes root in
! the blood. This causes a breaking
out which remains for a time and
then disappears, but returns at
certain seasons &c each year.

through the towns of the proposed new Southern circuit. The annual meeting of the Kentucky Breeders Association held every october at Lexington is the most important event of the year In harness horse circles. Some of ths stakes offered at some of the Grand Circuit tracks may be more valuable in a pecuniary sense, but horsemen would rather have the prestige that winning either the younger or older division futurities or the Transylvania at Lex
 fngton than anything in the world.
 For that reason the cream of the trottiug and p6cing horses of the United States always gather at Lex ington. The Grand Circuit season con- cludes just before that meeting. After the Lexington meeting the big stables would be glad to race over the South
 ern circuit if the purses are 60 as to justify the expense of bringing their
 horses down South. The result of the
 purses being given as outlined above
 would be that the people of Montgcm- cry. Mobile. Selma and Macon would
 sse some Grand Circuit racing at the different fairs.
 It is to be regretted that Huntsville
 has taken the stand they have and orr ganized an independent or outlaw week
 of racing. The Garth horses were very promising and popular through out this circuit. and Gus Macy with | The Clansman. Rebel Baron, Fair Mar garet and others will be missed in Montgomery.
