Heal the Skin;
Purify the Blood
Through the Use OF Stuart's Calcium
Waters, the Great Blood and
Skin Remedy


Waters, the Great Blood and
Skin Remedy.
The skin has been very closely stud
led as a physiological organ especially
as the organ of sensation and perspira-
ton Experiments on lower animals
show that the absorption of noxious
gases through the skin suffices in
short time to put an end to life, Spar
rows immersed in carbOnic acid. with
the head protected. died In one and
half. or two hours; while rabbits plac-
ed In sulphureted hydrogen, died in ten
minutes.
The skin is one of the most impor-
tant organs of the body. and Is very
liable to many annoying diseases, both
acute and chronic. and most OF these
complaints are dependent upon impure
ties in the blood. When the blood has
become so loaded with impurities alb
sorbed from the large Intestine. as in
constipation and auto-intoxication. or
from other sources, that these foreign
matters can not be properly eliminated.
the blood disposes of them by sending
them out through the pores. and the
result Is, pimples. blackheads. and 9TH
er skin troubles.
Certain occupations have the effect
of gradually filling the system with
poisons which often cause death.
Painters and workers in lead are very
much subject to lead-poisoning. which
is caused by the inhalation OF small
particles of lead. which slowly accumu-
late until serious symptoms result.
Paper hangers are also liable to ar
senic poisoning, as nearly all wall pa
per contains arsenic.
In the treatment of all forrns of blood
diseases and blood poisons. whether
from within or without: and for the
removal of torturing. disfiguring. un-
slightly skin diseases. and constitution
al humors. which affect the blood and
tissues, and cause swelling OF the
glands. etc. Stuart's Calcium Waters
is easily the most effective and pow
erful remedy in existence.
The principal ingredient of this Gel
ebrated blood-purifier and skin-disease
eradicator is calcium sulphide, which.
when taken into the system. rapidly
removes all impurities. bacteria, ana
poisons from the blood.
No poison or imqurity can exist long
IA the blood when Stuarts Calcium
WATERS are used. This remedy Is the
natural enemy of blood poisons- Paint
ers paper hangers and workers In
lead and arsenic, or other poisonous
metals, should use them frequently or
constantly. and thus avoid blood pois-
ons: and everyone who has skin ana
blood troubles of any kind. should en-
,,o,, ,ba,,, until rid of the diseases.

Chouteau County Taxes.

Notices of taxes due for the current
year are being mailed to owners OF
taxable property in Chouteau county,
and 1t is expected that most of them
will make prompt remittance to the
county treasurer. Taxes will become
delinquent on the evening of Novem-
Der 30, after which date the Montana
laws require the addition of a 10 per
cent penalty to the amount.
The total assessment of Chouteau
county this year is Sl4, 1873, 1854, an in
crease of about ST, 800, 900 over the
total for 1908. This increase is due
in part to the larger amount of prop
erty listed with the assessor, the ad.
ditions made by the county board of
equalization, and the raise in the valu-
alton of railroad property by the state
board.
The total amount of taxes charged
on the Chouteau county records this
year is. about 1923, 600, the total in
