the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained i. the
blood to poison the entire system.

: chased several tons of broken

proved saving of money, but
it produced a superior class of
hogs, according to the Morrises.
