"1E Countess of Warwick, who IS unl-
 versally regarded as the foremost
 A woman leader of England, has writ ten a remarkable article for this news paper criticising the horde Of society and theatrical women who have taken up war nursing for the sake of notoriety or In frivolous spirit.
 The Countess does not give names, but many people in England know to whom she refers Some of the war nurses" at whom she is aiming are so highly placed and influential that it would be difficult for the authorities to remove them. Prob ably the Countess expects that by her severe criticism she will shame them into retiring or reforming.
 Nevertheless, much of the war nursing done by prominent women appears to be giving satisfaction. While it Is of course outrageous that woman should be frivolous in the presence of suffering, it is a positive benefit to the wounded sol dief if an attentive nurse is handsome and attractively dressed.
 The handsome Duchess of Westminster, who was rather frivolous before the war, is conducting pretty hospital for wounded soldiers at Le Touquet, near Paris. Strange to say, her sister, the Princess of Pless, who Is married to one of the richest noble men of Germany, Is conducting an equal ly successful hospital for German soldiers near Berlin.
 The picturesque dancer, Ida Rubinstein adored by Gabrielle d'Annunzio, has estab lished a hospital in Paris. There Sle gratifies her dramatic instinct by wearing her nurses uniform most effectively, while she cheers up the wounded soldiers by her graceful poses.

Remedy.

The appearance Of pimples, boils skin
eruptions and all evidence Of impure blood,
calls for 8. 8. g., the famous blood purifier.
Cathartics, purges, bowel movers and lax
atives won't do.
No amount Of bile will destroy certain
germs which cause blood and skin erup-
tlons. They are away down deep in the
tissues, perhaps in the very marrow Of the
bones. And such a condition calls for the
searching influence of s. s. 8. 1t Is indeed
a remarkable remedy, since 1t is taken up
by the blood stream and never loses Its
medical influence. On and on It goes,
through aud through the entire system and
always with the same definite action to dis
lodge germs, destroy their activity and
stimulate the liver, lungs, kidneys, bowels
and skin to throw them out completely.
1t stimulates stagnant blood, provides a
ra tional exhilaration to the nerve centers
and thereby the natural functions OF the
body are aroused to cast out intruders, no
matter how strongly intrenched they may
be. 1t refutes the ancient theory that TO
