SKIN DISEASES

Overcome by the Wonderful Blood Purifying Properties

... of Dr. MORSE'S_INDIAN_ROOT PILLS. A person suffering from cruptions of the skin has much to endure. It is not merely the discomfiture and irritation and painful sensation, but life-is

made miserable by depression of spirits. The liver is torpid] and the kidneys are partially inoperative, and you feel languid and weak. The disease is in the blood, and where the system is not cleansed through the usual channels, Nature-asserts herself, and forcés partions of the impurities through the skin in the form of Pimples, Boils and Blotches. External remedies--powders, ointments, lotions-only alleviate; they do not get at the cause.. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pilla get at the cause by removing the disease from the Blood. They cleanse the system by stimulating the Liver and strengthening the Kidneys, which alter the Blood and throw off, the impure matter through the regular chanuefe.

OF INDIGESTION 'BILIOUSNESS & CONSTIPATION

I was in a very bad way. from indigestion. I was consti- rated and had no appetite. Any food

I did manage to take brought on pains in the chest, spells of vomiting and bilious attacks, In fact, my stomach was almost too weak to retain the lightest food. I became so weak it became im- possible to attend to household duties.

After trying almost everything to find a cure, a friend recommended Mother Seigel's Syrup. Before I had finished two bottles of Syrup, I was completely cured, "M¥s-P. Carnegie, 35, Krause Street, Bloemfontein, 17/6/ir. Mother Seigel's Syrup is not a new, untried remedy, but a medicine of forty years' reputation. The herbal extracts of which Mother Selgef's Syrup is made have a direct, beneficial effect on the stomach, liver and bowels. Thus it expels from the system the evil products of indigestion, regulates the liver and bowels, purifies the blood, makes

food nourish you and thus ensures good health.

LIGHT ALLOYS,

Aluminum, with a density of 2.56, is the only light metal that is cheap, strong and fairly unalterable, so that it has become the base of materials for many modern uses. Magnesium

is lighter, with a density of 1.74, but it a more costly and alters readily, and sodium-and- potassium, which are lighter oven than water, cannot be exposed to the air at all on account of their greediness for oxygen, Efforts have been made to improve alaminem by alloying with other metals. Noting the results, H Rous, set, a French scientist, points out that the rat: alloys of aluminum and magnesiom, prepared by Woehler about 1866, were fragile and easily oxidized, but the "magualium" of Dr. Mach, usually containing about 25 to 30 per cent. of magnesium, hay a hardness butweon, bronss and steel, melts vary easily, is quite ductiią, dad resists air and water batter than either the aluminum or the magnesium, An alloy with a little more magnesium ja very hard and brittle, but takes a brilliant poliah," Zina issometimes used for hardening, and "Zis. |kon,” consisting of 25 per cent. of ziņo to 75 of aluminum, is employed for instruments of pre cistes. Many aluminum alloys hire heirler metala in slight amoimt, svolding mach increase of weight, For forgings, a valuable solid allog contains 1,8 per cent, of copper, 1.6 of mag nesium, and 1.2 of nickel, with traces of antimony and iron; for castings, the mixtaro has also a little lead and tin; and a metal to be hammered or drawn fncludes with the aluminum 3.15 por cent, of tin, L.á of magnesium, 0.6 of lead, and 0.2 of copper.

FINGER PRINTS STOOD THE TEST,

Finger print identification, claimed to be in- fallible, has been lately suspected of failure, but triumphantly vindiosted. A man accused of arime in London was found by the Guger-prints to har served a sentence in 1909, but he proved an alibi by discharge papers showing that he was then with his regiment. On this evidence he was released. Continuing the investigation however, the police have discovered that the discharge papers wore stolon from another man and that the finger-print idontífication is quite correst, and confirmed by tattoo-marks.

COFFEE WITHOUT CAFFEIN.

Roasting follows in the usual way, and the agreeablo odour and taste develop in the heat- ing. The coffee is to be mildly stimulating with. ont poisonous “effects, or entirely fros from stimulation.

Don't Worry About

That

Bald Spot

Don't Worry About that Bald Spot, for- if the scalp is amooth and shiny the baldness has oom to stay. Better direct your apprehension toward the hairs Immediately surrounding the spot, for they will be the first to go, unless you kill the dandraff germ and keep it out of the scalp with NEWBRO'S HERPI- CIDE.

The time to save your hair is while you have hair to save. Extraordinary results sometimes follow the continued use of NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE.

Doctor Waterhouse, well-known physician of lows, and a member of the firma of Dyer & Waterhouse, advised the Rev. R. N. Toms, Pastor of the First Presby torian Church at Charter Oak, Iowa, to use NEWBRO'S HIERPIOIDE; read his letter about it:

Messrs. Dyer & Waterhouse, Druggists,

Charter Oak, Iowa.

Gentlemen-The Horpicide you recoun- mended to me for use as a remedy for dandraff and baldasss has proved a great anccess. I have used only one bottle and the result is surprising. The scalp has been thoroughly cleansed from dandruff, the old hair has softened and strengthened; while short, soft hair has already appeared in bald spots and I have been greatly relieved from haydaches. I most earnestly recommend all nflicted, as I have been, to try NEW BRO'S HERPICIDE.
